It&#8217;s a costume-only event, and the society has a reputation for being historical sticklers. I&#8217;d heard they prefer authentic vintage garb and gear over mere reproduction clothing. As the 1920s had never been a particular favourite clothing era of mine, I figured I&#8217;d never go to the Gatsby.<\/p>\n<p>But then&#8230; I got talked into it! The lovely friends I carpooled to Costume College &#8217;05 with convinced me that it was a really fun event, not stuffy, no costume nazis, just a whole bunch of fun. They told of previous year&#8217;s debauchery, champagne overflowing, cabana boys serving the ladies, and all on the lawn of a beautiful historic mansion. Plus, I learned how easy it could be to fake a 1920s costume from the Ross to Roaring &#8217;20s panel at Costume College.<\/p>\n<p>The group I was going with had planned a big potluck, so I made a fruit salad in scooped-out watermelon bowls, plus ginger cookies, and packed a bottle of champagne in my basket. We had a great spot under a tree and near the band.<\/p>\n<p>The setting was stunning &#8212; a gorgeous 1899 mansion, all the crowd in some sort of costume, from super-accurate to just blending in, picnic spreads of every fashion, and dozens of fabulous vintage cars. Wow! It was so relaxed, genteel, and fun that it really didn&#8217;t matter what I was wearing. I was just so happy to be in such a lovely place with so many charming people. Now I&#8217;m hooked. I have to go again!<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
