Regency Picnicing

I attended one other event this weekend gone. My re-enactment group were invited to attend a Napoleonic event at the Samford Scout Grounds with a number of other re-enactors. We took the opportunity to frock up in our Regency kit for a picnic for the day. It gave us a chance to socialise with some of the other Napoleonic and Regency re-enactors as well as use a few of our pieces that don't see so much use. I took along my shade shelter, and a good thing too as not long after we had set up it started to spit, and continued throughout much of the day.

For the occasion, I decided to wear my blue muslin dress. While the weather had been cooling off, it was nice to be in such a comfortably cool dress. I even wore the new petticoat that I made last year as well, and I am very pleased with it. So much so, that I am considering making another one. I topped it all off with a new grey silk bonnet. I had made this one as an item to sell, but once it was finished, I fell in love with it, and love how it goes with this dress.
