I did some more volunteer modeling for the Costume Museum of Canada today.
Here is one of my outfits. It's a Marie Antoinette style minuet dress. I just love it. The corset has to be done up so tightly I can barely breath in it! I do think I look absolutely silly in this photo though!
I also got to wear my favorite outfit. Seen here.

Courtney - I'm also a history and fashion history buff! I just love wearing these costumes. This one is a repro of a dress the Museum owns. I would love to see the original. I have a picture of it on a postcard somewhere in my house.
ReplyDeleteIf you check the link to my previous post about modeling you can see one of my other outfits. The navy crepe dress from 1929 is an original!

love the costume...the wig is questionable....u could do better with one of our old mrs claus wigs!
ReplyDeleteThe costume *is* amazing! And I agree, the wig is bad...I took it home after this show to restyle it. I hope it helped.
