Tomorrow we are off to Sydney for my partners sister's 50th. She is having a Hornblower party on a tall ship on the harbour. Dress is early 1800s. I love sewing but didn't have a lot of time. So we hired the dress but I made the little cutoff jacket and decorated the bonnet.
So this is us all frocked up. Got to say hubby looked particularly dashing.
Cool outfit, cel.
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to a sewing machine in the 8th grade....
We've been bitter enemies ever since.
Good job on the jacket and bonnet.
Hope you have a good time at the party!

Very nice job on the jacket.. covered buttons & all! I love to sew, but fabric is so hard to find as we don't have many fabric stores in our area and what they do carry is so limited.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the party.

Cheers guys, am really looking forward to it. Will post photos next week
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous! :D
ReplyDeleteGood thing you got a hold on your hubby.
He looks scrumptious!

Love it!! The coat came out beautifully, and you look great in it! I love when people actually go all out for events rather than giving it a half-hearted effort.
ReplyDeleteAlso, top hats!!
Cel you are a very lovely couple and I love the early dressage you are both wearing. I think it is very cool!!! :D

Ooh, lovely. You both look amazing - well done on all the sewing and bonnet-decorating!
ReplyDeleteHa ha Calma, I so agree, I want him to dress up like that all the time, he usually just wears scruffies.
ReplyDeleteWe got stopped four times on the walk down to have photos taken with tourists!, one Japanese lady took a whole series with us!
