Oh, yes, I've read about them. I would love to do something similar at the house where I work, but, alas! we are limited in what we can do for men at our site. Doesn't that place have fishing and am I remembering horses, too?
And yes, for me, too, the ideas and shopping are the fun part--the making up not so much, unless I'm trying something new.

've done talks in various places about this period, usually couched in erms of "fashion and Jane Austen." This particular occasion will be xtra fun. A local B&B, the Governor's House in Hyde Park, VT, offers 4 ane Austen weekends throughout the year focusing on one book and then a opic related to Austen's period http://www.onehundredmain.com/calendar2.cfm). There's a Friday evening talk, Saturday tea, dinner and book discussion, nd Sunday brunch and quiz. Next year's book is Emma and the general opic will be the fashion of the times. So, I'll be doing the talks and ecided I needed a multi-day wardrobe for each of the 4 weekends which re each in a different season! Buying the fabric and designing the owns was fun, but actually creating them now is a bit daunting. - Hope annbw...@aol.com wrote: I need to make for Federal/Empire/Regency wardrobe I have to finish by mid-January.
