Thanks for everyone's input. I should have told you that I'll be a middle-aged woman, small town (15,000 population in hot Texas) but upper class and well-traveled, a suffragette who has campaigned in Austin and Washington, DC. The dress is really nice green lawn with a stylized cream and dark brown vertical ivy motif. The top of the dress is the Armistice blouse but the collar and cuffs are cut from a white linen table runner with drawn threads. I attached a mid-calf skirt and I'm using a self fabric belt with an oval mother of pearl(ish) pass through buckle about five inches top to bottom and maybe two inches side to side. I'm planning on a cream silk georgette broad brimmed hat, deep crown, with feathers. I tried to get some shoes with a double buttoned strap, but I'm settling for a pair of oxford type shoes, dark brown to almost black.
