The 18th C. Tea Party

A quick post to let you all know I made to to VA, had a wonderful time, and came home safe again. Two things to share until I get settled.

A photo of me in my Chemise a la Reine!




And a video of tea guests having fun in the pool afterwards. No, that's not me in the pool. I'm taking the video, so you can't see me.

I had a great time! I'll post about the party itself soon. I have so much to say!

You looked gorgeous!

That video is a riot, are the giggles nonstop or what?

[identity profile] madamemodiste.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! But you know you stole the show!!

I love the video! It says what a still shot can't say.

Your dress (and outfit) turned out FABULOUS!

Thank you so much!

You look fabulous. And your ensemble is just beautiful, as always.

[identity profile] madamemodiste.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! One can't help but be beautiful in a frothy white confection like that! It transforms any scullery maid into a princess!

You look so beautiful! And the ensemble is great!

[identity profile] madamemodiste.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It was a joy to wear!

The dress turned out so lovely! And the hat is such a gem too!

[identity profile] madamemodiste.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!! Yes, the hat was fun to wear. I thought it would be unmanageable, but somehow it wasn't.

Wow! So pretty and light. It looks perfect for warm weather too.
It came out beautiful. =)

[identity profile] madamemodiste.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! The heat made such a dress perfect! Floaty and cool!

You look so fab! Great job on your chemise dress.

[identity profile] madamemodiste.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I think next I need different stays underneath, though. I have too much of a defined waist in the Regency short stays in the photos.

YOu look like a pretty, pretty, COOL princess. Who could tell from the picture how warm it was?! :) And look, your champagne glass! Awesome! Good to meet you this weekend. Hope to see you at other Luminere East functions.

I know! We made it look like it was a cool 75 rather than over 90! Yes, I can't do without my champagne!! LOL!

Hope to see you again soon!

Your dress and hat turned out so beautiful! I would die for a dress like that. And such a perfect setting for it, as if you stepped back in time.
