It was freakishly hot the night of the party, so these are not the best pix o’ me, as wearing a wig makes me pour gallons o’ sweat (I’m *such* a lady). But halfway thru the night, I went to the restroom and saw myself in the mirror and realized, damn, this looks good! Totally worth it. I will have to wear this ensemble again, hopefully in cooler climes 😉 Take a look at Diana’s photos of the party on Flickr.

This is has since become my most-frequently worn 18th-century gown. It’s just so pretty and flattering! I’ve worn it at Colonial Williamsburg and various Lumieres events. I don’t always wear it with the ship wig because that part is a bit cumbersome. But it goes equally well with a hedgehog style, as wore it in France at Chateau de Pys…
Great job matching the stripes!
I’m not sure which I love most, the dress or the ship on a wig! So awesome!
