Over the weekend, I had a chance to wear my olive Civil War gown again to the CW encampment at Fort Knotts, across the street from Knotts Berry Farm, in Buena Park, CA. It's mostly demonstrations for the public to see, but the soldiers and their families all live in their tents for 2-3 days. Some of the ladies have their own set-ups for their demonstrations, such as cooking. I went with a friend of mine to help in her sutler's booth, and got to take lots of pictures too.
This is the only one I have so far of me wearing my gown there. Fortunately it was mostly grassy so I only got a little mud and water on the hem.
I saw another pretty gown that has my fingers itching to make, using this Peachtree Mercantile pattern.
I have a couple beautiful sheer fabrics that would work very well with it. But I have a Regency dress and pelisse I need to make next.
