This is my SnS from the weekend. If I hadn't been so tired after all day at the event I would have posted sooner.Again, nothing but a terrible picture. DD was not in a picture mood & our photographer's wife took the camera (darned soccer game!).

The blue over dress that looks like a robe is DD's mantua, a 1690-1720's style overdress. It's mostly fitted with pleats in the back. There are gores & a box pleat on either side to make the skirt a little swishy. She actually has her hair up and her cap on in the picture because we haven't left the house yet. That didn't late 20 minutes at the encampment much to my annoyance!
