OMG your hat plays music! Not only was Domestinatrix's top hat made of metal, it had a tiny music box that played "Here Comes The Sun". I am consumed with envy. |
 |
Front of the outfit Yes, fur collar and cuffs. Because BlueJay is AWESOME. |
 |
The back of the dress ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FEET OF RUFFLES. I probably could have knocked people over with the dress. I didn't, but I could have. |
 |
Loomycakes The Stroppy One, looming like a loomy thing. Isn't he handsome? |

Anyway - you DID knock me sideways with that dress at least twice. It didn't help that I'd bolted a Bombay Sapphire-and-tonic at high speed immediately prior, but wow - that's a Dress of Mass Destruction. Who needs fire.

And if you had fire, you'd set your clothes alight. That's part of the reason you can't have it.

I don't see why we're not allowed to play with lots of fire.

That may explain the buffeting during the midnight waltz!
(No, actually it was the POLTROONS surrounding us playing BUMPER WALTZ. Dolts.)
Next year my outfit will be covered in SPIKES so that does not happen again. Jilli LAUGHED and LAUGHED the whole time.

To The Stroppy one . . . love the vest!
From:

Isn't that wonderful vest he's wearing?
From:

It is! It is! and that shirt is really pretty to. He look really good in that picture. I wish my husband would dress up like that sometimes *sigh*

I hope you get more chances to wear it :)

(But perhaps the next time I wear it will be in WINTER, because wow, that was a warm outfit.)

I need something like that for when I go to Whitby :)

I might have to look into that at some point myself. :D
You all look wonderful. I'm bummed I had to miss it.

I apologize.
(Unrelatedly, at Display & Costume weekend before last, a charming young lady behind a register told me I liked familiar, asked if I knew you, and informed me she is related to you. I think I encountered her exactly once prior to that, so kudos to her for her memory.)
Edited for pronoun trouble.

She remembers ALL the much-cooler-than-me women she meets through me, and not-very-secretly wishes I were SO AWESOME as to dress on such a grand scale. But I think we get along OK anyway!
No apologies necessary - the way I figure it, if the hat had a refrigeration unit, then cooler heads would definitely prevail...

And my utmost respect to the Infamous BlueJay (sorry if I got the name wrong) for working this hard on a dress someone else wore... I still am procrastinating making a petticoat because I dread the ruffling... x_X
Edit, or more like P.S.: The Stroppy One really looks very British! I love it. What was the phrase Gabaldon used? Like coming from having tea with the Queen.
(You really are a lucky woman. British and a redhead (if I'm not very much mistaken), oh my... <3)

Honestly, I envy you your ability to pull off ruffles. I couldn't even if I wanted. (I do love the pretty dress you linked to earlier today...)

In your local crafty store go straight to the dolls and doll accessories section. Look about and you should see small plastic and silber buttons about the size of a half-dollar. They are music boxes to be inserted in the backs of dolls. You can get all kinds of tunes and they are super easy to conceal.
