I knew I would be tired and not feeling like making a lot of effort, so I wore my block printed Regency gown. I didn't get any pictures in it, so here are some old ones from last year's DFWCG Georgian picnic.

This time I accessorized with my new red stone brooch, a green ribbon sash, and a turban made from a dark red shawl. American Duchess's tutorial was really helpful! I wore it with lots of curls, similarly to the black and white Regency from the Friday social. I also pinned on the clear rhinestone brooch to the turban. It looked good! Too bad I don't have any photo proof.
On Sunday afternoon, I changed into very casual vintage wear, to be comfy by the pool. I ended up visiting with Teresa for a long time, which was great.
When we made it to the pool, several other people were at the inside pool. Lauren was wearing an amazing c. 1940 Vogue outfit, so I took a few pictures for her on a great stairway by the pool.

I accidentally left my swimsuit at Lauren's house, so I wasn't able to actually join in the swimming. But I did wade in as far as I could and threw the ball around!

It was such a comfortable, relaxing time, a great end to Costume College proper.
The next day we went back to the garment district. I already covered that in my shopping post, so that's it for Costume College 2012!
I love your choice of fabric for the regency gown!
