The vendors and patrons at the show are also incredibly friendly, and they always seem happy to humor our quirky habit of dressing up in costume for this show. Sometimes we go all out and wear Victorian, Edwardian, or Regency clothing, but this year, most of our group took the easy way out and wore vintage. It's a fun compromise becasue you still feel "dressed up", but it's much easier to fit into the sometimes crowded booths and dig around though all the bins of goodies on the floor.
Usually I go to the show with a list of supplies and accessories to shop for that I can use for future costume projects. If I ever want buttons, ribbon, lace, or trim, this is the first place that I look, and I've also bought a wide variety of accessories like purses, hats, gloves, and parasols here too. This year I didn't really have a lot of specific things that I needed, so my friend Christy and I amused ourselves by trying on vintage accessories that matched our outfits. I had no idea how many navy and white dotted items there were in the world!
If you live in area and you've never been to the Antique Elegance Show before, I highly recommed that you check it out. The next show is February 16th and 17th, and it will include a fashion show featuring coats, capes, robes, and other outer garments from the 1860's - 1960's. Also, Keven Jones and Christina Johnson from FIDM will also be giving a presentation on Royal Dress. I hope to see you there!

Lovely photos and you all look beautiful!
I certainly hope that you bought those gloves. They are to die for.
Typography hierarchy optimizes readability. Designers strategically place font sizes, weights, and how do you make a bag out of wrapping paper colors to guide consumer focus, helping them quickly locate product names, benefits, and ingredients.
Regular cleaning maintains durability. Remove debris, branches, and buildup from your roof fixer surface before and after storms. Clean roofs shed water more effectively and experience fewer issues with moisture retention or mold growth.
Border patrols implement night-compatible cameras along fencing and remote outposts. Real-time monitoring of illegal crossings or digital monocular night vision intrusions strengthens national security and reduces the manpower needed for continuous surveillance.
