My Gorgeous Bonnet

This is my gorgeous bonnet...








...to go with my gorgeous gown...





...that goes with my gorgeous reticule...




...accessorized by gloves and a gorgeous fan.


No gorgeous shoes, alas!
No gorgeous me either; woe!

I talked HERE about the marvelous Mrs. McCabe, seamstress extraordinaire, who handmade my gown using period-appropriate stitchery techniques and costume-making details. She has my life-long gratitude.

Thanks go to the fabulous milliner Laura at Austentation for the Elinor styled hat.

Thanks also go to the Regina Scott, Sir Reggie at the Beau Monde Soirées, for the fan.

An aside...

Thanks to Kristine Hughes & Victoria Hinshaw and Jo Manning, I discovered that you can own your very own London Blue Plaque issued by the London County Council. Oh, very well, it's not the official blue plaque that'll grace the walls of a London architectural marvel. It's just an image that you can download and display.
