If you ever feel the need to don a shiny white 18th century wig and dig some poly satin and panne velvet, then you should come to Stockholm on August 22. We are planning to have plastic fantastic party, 18th century style, where bad taste is the best. Princess seams, back lacing, modern corsetry and, most important of all, bad wigs, are for once a must. I for one want a pink wig.
As for clothes I haven’t decided yet. Some years ago I
made a pair of 18th century stays in black PVC that I have never
worn, that would probably fit the bill. (I had a new stay pattern to try out
and I wanted to test sewing in PVC). But what to wear with it? I have PVC left
for a petticoat, but perhaps I should try to match J who wants a suit in purple
panne velvet? Decisions, decisions…
Ebay do spit out one lovely after another, doesn’t
it?

Oh, my, how truly awful these things are ;-)! Film costuming has gotten better, though we can still catch the occasional glitch.
Oh Lord, it's all going to be very hot in that lot in August! hehe
I LOVE this idea! Some friends and I have joked about having a "farb party" in which we embrace the best of the worst our era has to offer--I cannot WAIT to see what you come up with!
