I made a new dress and for the occasion, which turned out quite well. Really makes me miss Civil War reenacting! It's mainly War of 1812 for the next couple years, but I will do everything I can to get my Civil War fix. It is where I started, after all, and I feel "at home" in the era. I think everyone has an era like that. What's yours?

So beautiful. I don't see such pretty gowns here in So CA.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I thought the daguerreotype was original at first and you were copying a dress, but I did a double take and realized it was you! Stunning!
Well, Val, at the least you'll be seeing the navy & pink one around, if you hang at any CWA events ;-) (hopefully with more trim next time around ;-P)
You look divine!! What an amazing fit and color on you.
Great photos! That tintype of you and Maggie looks wonderful. Makes me miss reenacting.
Gasp gasp! Lovely dress! Wow! I'm blown away. I just love the tailored look with the colar. It suits you perfectly.
