So I am having a problem deciding on a white evening gown design for the February ORS event. I was going to do a gown from a painting, but now I don't have time to do the sleeve that I was thinking of. I am looking for a fairly simple white gown that is not plain. Any suggestions?

Look at Lizzie's wedding gown or her ballgown. It's simple but has some very subtle embellisments.

I really paid attention to the costumes yesterday. I'm really keen on reproducing her black spenser with a pleated lower half added to it, and her Ruched rust-coloured bonnet.

I'm really keen on reproducing . . . her Ruched rust-coloured bonnet. Austentation has a bonnet like that called the Charlotte. I am sure that you could order the base that they used and cover it yourself if you didn't want to order it already made. www.austentation.com/Boutique/html/charlotte.htm |

Yes, I love that spencer. The collar especially. The lapels don't work for a lady with a larger..... bosom.... so I like the lines of it.

I love lapels, but I like to draw attention to my bosom, especially post baby.
