In hot weather, though, those sleeves are comfortable: no binding, and extra air flow. Not that 95% humidity airflow is much improvement, but hey, any bit is better than none.<br /><br />Very best, and please do come to the festival next year. Think you'll really enjoy yourself so many people, including me, would be chuffed to meet you.<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086335016901683883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18213663.post-31926045753678322532014-08-10T13:09:11.155-04:002014-08-10T13:09:11.155-04:00What a lovely re-imaging of an older dress!

I hope to make it there next year. :)Aubryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866345878919314822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18213663.post-11794094933226153712014-08-06T12:25:24.607-04:002014-08-06T12:25:24.607-04:00Dear Sarah W.,

Laura's dress really did feel Grecian or Roman, in an odd way, since the Roman-style dresses I've made actually end up giving a person a great deal more coverage. Still, the feeling was there.<br /><br />Poor girl in Sweden! She probably didn't expect *that* much attention.<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086335016901683883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18213663.post-28240440806980411052014-08-05T17:38:20.237-04:002014-08-05T17:38:20.237-04:00You all looked positively racy next to the other l...You all looked positively racy next to the other ladies ;) Pretty, though. Certainly more inspired by ancient dress than later in the period.<br /><br />There is *one* recorded instance of a young lady here in Sweden, who was daring enough to go for a walk wearing thin french clothes with flesh coloured stockings. She was so mobbed by the boys she met, she needed help to get away from them...Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095151411363232281noreply@blogger.com
