Someone was giving instructions and it was fairly easy to follow but the dances got too complicated for me to follow towards the end. There were loads of people that go to this type of affair often and they intimidated me because I kept messing up the line. Lots of laughing at ourselves and many people from the theater department were there- alot of us hung out sipping eggnog and eating eggnog. Fun to watch the experts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dickens-inspired-outfit-from-the-holidays#post-380618 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:42:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 380618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun event- Thanks for sharing the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dickens-inspired-outfit-from-the-holidays#post-380617 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:41:37 +0000 April 380617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, that is just stunning!</p> <p>Was the dancing fun? I'm not a big fan of (myself) dancing, but always thought that sort looked so appealing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dickens-inspired-outfit-from-the-holidays#post-380601 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:17:52 +0000 greenglove 380601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a picture from a dance that we went to over the Christmas holiday. It was a dance that was designed to be from around the time of Dickens. We all did line dancing like the kind that was in Pride and Prejudice. We were supposed to dress in something that looked like it was from another time. I went to a thrift store the day before and bought a big crinoline slip. I found this pewter long skirt to put over it. I also found this little fitted velvet jacket that was in the most gorgeous blue. I tied a copper chiffon scarf in a big bow. I wore black pointy boots underneath (added a bit of an edge). My husband is the big guy in the middle. He is an actor and does a one man show portraying Nathanial Hawthorne. He is wearing his costume. My friend Kellee is also with us- she wore a stunning strapless dark green dress, we had so much fun!! </p>
