After finally getting all the pictures of the day off our cameras....here is the long awaited part 2 of the 18th C. Clothing Workshop Posts. :)
The day of the workshop, we girls woke up very early and started the process of dressing and hairstyling. It does not take us as long as it use too....we are older now, more efficient in dressing, and so use to dressing now. :) We then finished loading up odds and ends and we were off.
When we arrived we dispersed and set off to accomplish the tasks that needed to be finished before our guests arrived.
After everyone arrived, registered, and was seated, we started. I covered, our site's history, basic local history, women's roles within the home and community. We then moved on with Mae's talk on foundation garments, hairstyles and caps. Then to my topics gowns, hats and bonnets etc.
Our guests were wonderful listeners and asked some great questions. Our next workshop is already in the works and we are looking at July. Just enough time for Mae and I to rest up from this last one.
Now, for the pictures....

Here are our lovely "models" for the day - Karen, Miss M, & Dorie. They were great sports and beautiful models. They did a wonderful job!
Mae and I comparing notes etc... It looks like we are singing...
Trying to stall while waiting for the last of our guests to arrive. :)
Mae and her portion of the workshop. I believe this would be the foundation garments.
Yours truly, moving things along with the gowns...
Some of the younger girls trying things on during a break.
Karen and Dorie answering questions, while others look around...
After it was all over, us girls and Mumsie took a walk and I gave the girls a little tour.
The progress on the Casting House roof....it looks even better this week!
I think I might have worn these girls out!
I think I wore this one out too. ;-)
I know I was pretty tired....but happy.
All in all it was a very nice day.
