Here are some of the First Lady gowns. Sorry, I was bad and don't have identifiers on a lot of them. They're mostly quick snaps. More info here: http://americanhistory.si.edu/exhibitions/first-ladies

Costumes on display in DC...
I was in DC with friends and the Museum of American History had a bunch of different costumes on display.
Here are some of the First Lady gowns. Sorry, I was bad and don't have identifiers on a lot of them. They're mostly quick snaps. More info here: http://americanhistory.si.edu/exhibitions/first-ladies

A new brooch!
I bought this silver foil-backed paste heart drop from one of my favorite online antique dealers, Nalfie. It's circa 1820/40 (the top part), and 1900 (the drop), though the pin back is a recent replacement. It wasn't super expensive and it's perfect for my costuming purposes. Such a pretty find!

Regency Card Party
Belated reporting, but I wanted to post pics from Jenny-Rose's lovely Regency card party! As usual the food was amazing (I need recipes!!) and the decorations lovely. All that candlelight!
Treneka, a friend of Jenny-Rose's took photos too - here's the site with them - I borrowed a few, including this group photo: forthejoyphotography.pass.us/card-party/
Candied almonds:
Sugared walnuts:
Doug - not quote regency, but that's ok.
Sylabub
Here's the food - a delicious pork pie made from a period recipe, and a vegetable soup that was amazing!

Francaise Dinner
So here we have the Francaise dinner itself. There were so many logistics that weekend, but amazingly, it really couldn't have gone better!
Gloria's friend Beth is a professional photographer and she took beautiful photos for us! I'll share some of those in another post.
Here's the group pic she took:
A very big thanks to Gen for making us these beautiful cameo chocolates, which we put on everyone's plate. They were so pretty and much as I hated to eat them, they also tasted delicious. Thank you, Gen!
More behind the cut.
