The Ladies Tea and Literary Social made for such a delightful and splendid afternoon! Everyone had the request of dressing up in period costume and bring a piece of 19th century (or before)poetry/prose to read.
It was fun to see a span of periods represented from the 19th century, but I couldn't help but notice the "Victorian" style that screams "made in the 1970s!!!" =) Here are a few pictures:
And a bunch of yours truly with featuring the Regency peach half-robe... =)

Oh it turned out so beautifully!! You look absolutely sweet. What a fun time you all must have had!
The half-robe turned out lovely, but you, Cheri, look absolutely gorgeous! I love that first picture of you especially... very Regency indeed!
Beautiful costume! Looks like you had fun...thanks for posting pics!
Ooh, Cheri! "Marianne's dress" is beautiful! Great job!
Lovely, Cheri! What a fun idea; might have to try something like that sometime. :) You look good in that time period.
A vision of femininity. I hope you had a lovely day, it sounds like an idea I may have to borrow. What was your favorite part?
::blushing:: Your comments are all so sweet and generous! Thankyou. =)
The Regency era and the Edwardian era are my most favorite! You'll probably see the latter showing up on the blog soon... =)
Mrs. Kaos,
Despite the enthusiasum in reading prose myself, I really enjoyied that part! We all read poetry, prose, or words from hymns that were so encouraging & thought provoking. It was a time of inspiration and not one of gossip!
How beautiful! I think I am a bit envious ;)....
You looked really lovely Cheri! Thank you for sharing the pictures!

Mrs. Kaos,
I mean't "despite my LACK of enthusiasum..." =) I am not a public speaker by any means!
Cheri,
Your robe is so pretty and your dress too! You look so gorgeous, very Regency and feminine!!!!
I love how your outfit turned out! It looks so fun to wear. Isn't it fun to have an excuse to dress up like that? (I know I don't comment often, but I do read!) =D
Love the last photo...and I love your dresses.
