On my sewing list are outfits for a Regency Tea at the end of June. I of course, have absolutely nothing made for myself so this will be a from inside-out sort of thing. I had toyed with making my long corset for this, but really do not feel like messing with it right now, not when I have other things I would rather be sewing, so I will go ahead and make a bodiced petticoat for this. I also need to decide on the style of the dress that I would like for the event.
Pride and Prejudice was my favorite Jane Austen book and then film (the Colin Firth version of course) for the longest time. But as I have gotten older, I find I am really drawn to Persuasion. To me the characters are much more authentic, and I find I really relate to Anne Elliot. Perhaps because he family and friends take her for granted. Anyway, I really think I will be doing something Anne inspired. I love how she has such unassuming colors in the film (the Rupert Penry-Jones one of course), so I am leaning towards going that way. Not certain how appropriate it is for a tea...
