Recent Costuming Events Part 1

I haven't sewn anything since my last post, but I realized I never posted about two recent costuming events. 

On Friday Jan 12th, my friend Rachel and I donned our Hogwarts uniforms and went to go see this huge Diagon Alley setup that a guy in Ballard had built in his yard. It's been open since Halloween, but I hadn't had a chance to go yet. It was awesome!

Recent Costuming Events Part 2

On Saturday, January 13th, a few of us from the Puget Sound Historical Costumers Guild (Agnes, Mara, DodiRose, and myself) met up to visit the corset exhibit at the White River Valley Museum in Auburn and go to tea in Sumner. The corset exhibit was a little disappointing (mostly because I think it perpetuates a lot of the unfortunate corset myths), but we also took pictures in the area of the museum that has an old town setup. I wore my plaid 1890s dress. I should probably make another day dress of this era, since I feel like I wear this one so often. 

Here's a few of the pictures, and the rest can be found here.
