A Ball

Sorry its been so long since I've written on this, but not a whole lot has been going on in my life. I'm happily boring at the moment. :) But I thought I'd write about this: Recently I got invited to go to a Regency Ball (With Brittany and her friends) on Nov 15th. For those of you who don't know what that is, its basically an excuse for people to get dressed up in pretty Jane Austen dresses (And tuxes...) and dance the night away!! :) I'm super excited, because this is my favorite time era, and I've always wanted to dress up for the fun of it! So, for the next couple of weeks I'll be working on sewing a dress for the ball. I'll be sure and post pictures for you all to see. So, that's what's new here! =3 Best get myself moving and off to work!

Ooh, I forgot to mention its a GRAND Ball...that means everyone is going all out on fancy costumes. =3 SO fun! Can't wait to see everyone dressed up ^^

Can't wait to see you in your finished dress! It's going to be so beautiful... maybe your own personal Mr. Darcy will show up and sweep you off your feet at the ball? (giggling)

LOL mom! Im not sure I'll be finding any Mr. Darcy's there. ;D

And Mandy, Mr. Bingley was very confused about love and was easily swayed(Don't know if thats the right word lol) when Mr. Darcy told him not to waste his time with Jane. But I guess Mr. Darcy had his problems too, lol! I'll take a Mr. Darcy any day ;D

That sounds like so much fun. I really hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see the pics.

That does sound like a lot of fun! I would LOVE to go to something where everyone gets dressed up like that! I love old eras as well. I would have loved to live about 100 years ago, seriously. *sigh* oh well. HAVE a BLAST!!!

Sis Stubby said...

What Fun!I would love to see your dress.

Chelsea said...

Lorraine!! I haven't heard from you in ages! Maybe that's a problem on my part...anyway hope you have fun. Me, I don't like dresses period, so being back in the days would be awful. :D

Aunt Sissy said...

That does sound like fun. I would like do that. I don't mind dresses as long as it's not cold outside. Have fun and don't forget to show us pictures.

no no lorraine you need 2 read again bingly only left jane when his sisters and darcy convinced him jane was indifferent toward him. Then he believed them because jane was discrete and proper and wasn't froward with her feelings toward him so he was tricked poor bingly. So if you fing a bingly and not a darcy give him a chance tehe ;D

Lol, Chelsea, bummer! I'd rather be stuck in the dress days..even though I'm not super fond of dresses. =3 And its probably my fault...I need to get on Facebook more. Sigh.

Mandy, I TOTALLY forgot about Mr. Bingley. Never actually read the books, just watched the movies, lol. But still, Dr. Darcy is and probably always will be the fictional man girls swoon over. ;D

that sounds like sooooo much fun raine. please post pics when ever it`s all over with. i think it would be fun to live in the old days.well that is as longs as your mother didn`t keep forcing to marry. like she did with Elizabeth. LOL. but i would have to agree with you Mr,Darcy all the way. But i did like Mr,Bingley too.

Chelsea said...

Yep you do need to get on Facebook more. And since I never read any of Jane Austin's books and only watched the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice I have to say Mr. Darcy was a bit too stuck up...oh and so was Jane...I have to say Edward Cullen is so much better lol :D

Hope you have a wonderful time. Can't wait to see pictures. I have always thought I would be cool to get all dressed up and go to a ball.
