Greetings! [Mariette]

[Mariette]

Hello,
I'm Mariette. I'm interested in historical fashions, sewing, Jane Austen novels and movies, and drooling 19th century paintings

I found this site from the Sense and Sensibility Patterns’ forum when one of your members posted a link here (and I am much obliged to her because this site is awesome).

That’s pretty much it.

[Miss Credit]

I am very glad to make your acquaintance Mariette!
I am most certain that you will find yourself in heaven here as most of the ladies, and the couple gentlemen we do have, are very knowledgeable when it comes to 19th century fashion and many share the same passion for Miss Austen as well. I do hope you find this group to be as helpful and diverting as I do.

[lauren]

Welcome :-) I'm sure you'll find our little corner of the internet to be very diverting :-), and lots of fun. What part of the country are you from?

[Mme de Beaufort]

Welcome Mariette! I'm very glad you joined us.

Hi Mariette
I'm glad you made it here! I have enjoyed this forum so much that I had to share it! I'm amazed how much time I spend here, its very addictive and so full of images that research has suddenly become so much easier!
Cheers, Aylwen

[Mrs Parker]

Welcome, Mariette. Join in where you will. There is much conviviality in which to partake.

Dear Miss Mariette,

Welcome to this polite society. It can be a slice of heaven on the net.

[Mariette]

Thank you all for such a warm welcome!
A few more things about myself: I live in central NJ and I am the third of five sisters.

Welcome Mariette, I wonder if I've run across you at other costume message boards. I'm also known as cinnamonhrts(email) and chloe & rudy (LiveJournal). I've found it's a small world btn costumers.

Welcome, Mariette! I am so glad that you have decided to join our little group. I am always excited to have another person to discuss costume with.

Dear Miss Mariette,

Are there many Regency groups, dances and activities in your area? Have you built your Regency wardrobe yet? Also, have you thought about attending War of 1812 events? It's the same time period with mostly the same fashions, and another avenue of early 19th century things to see and do.

Sadly, there aren’t any Regency groups (that I know of) in my area *cries a little*.

I plan to start my Sense and Sensibility Patterns Regency Stays, and gown soon. I just need an opportunity to buy fabric!

I shall do some research on events in my area set during the War of 1812. Thanks for the suggestion!

The other costume/crafting/historical themed forums I'm a member of are www.thefedoralounge.com/ (There I go by my real name, Rachel), www.craftster.org/forum/ (and here I'm RachelG), and forums.sensibility.com/index.php (i'm known as mariette there too.)

[Mme de Beaufort]

I know there are a few groups in New York that do Regency parties and such, I'm fairly sure there's at least an ECD group nearby.
