Victorian Delights

 It was hard to pick a favorite at the Victorian Festival fashion show
in Port Townsend this past weekend.
Delights made appearances here and all about town too.
 I thought my tea loving friends would enjoy this tea dress,
oh and the teapot too.

 My friend, Val, is always a delight to see up there on stage.
Her creations just make me smile.
 I believe they said there was 5 yards of fabric in this dress.
That's alot of fabric.

 So crisp and fresh, there is something that delights me in the white.
 A soft tea dress and gorgeous bag.

 I must say this was one of my favorites
and just suited the model perfectly.
 I could picture this being worn on a river boat
for entertainment.  Just whimsical.

 Here's Val again, beautiful as always.
You can find Val's blog on costumes here:  http://timetravelingincostume.blogspot.com/


Hope you enjoyed the show, I certainly did.

  3. I was hoping you might share photos of this! I think I'm especially fond of the white dresses. They seem so springy. Like we'll ever see spring here! Sounds like a wonderful time!

  16. I love costume festivals - we are so lucky everyone didn't throw things away back then!
    My pick is the white dress and coat, love the parasol - the hat and shoes are lovely too!
