This was not your traditional costume party. For starters, when my friend Southern Belle knocked at the door, I opened it to see one of these ladies in the flesh:
 |
The green hat is eerily similar to the red one she was wearing! |
Southern Belle collects historic clothing, and she also sews her own.
 |
Little Women-esque jacket |
 |
My favs, the 40's and 50's |
 |
These actually belonged to her grandma, who eloped in the cream one! |
After admiring the costumes for quite sometime, we were starving. Time for tea!
 |
More tea? |
And then it was time for more dress up!
Look. At. This. Dress.
Ok, I will. This fabric is so beautiful, the picture doesn't do it justice. the dress bodice has boning in it to make you look skinny, and one of the twirliest skirts ever.
 |
Swing dancing? Nope, just twirling. |
What did you dress up as this year?
