Since I didn't get a lot of good posed pictures of my new redingote last month, I decided to make use of the pretty winter backdrop today and snapped a few more pics at the park. It was so much fun wearing this outfit in cold weather. I stayed nice and warm in my gown, and the colors seem to go so perfectly with the snow and bare trees. I could have kept going for hours, but my son decided that more snowball fights were in order, so I changed back into my street clothes and returned to 21st century mom-mode. Unfortunately, my camera doesn't like cold weather and all of my pictures are a bit out of focus and hazy, but we're going to call that blurriness "artsy" and go with that. ;) But anyway, it was a fun little excursion and a perfect Christmas gift from mother nature for a costume nerd like myself.

You look even more perfect in the snow!
The ones with the trees makes me think of a (maybe a little scary) fairy tale.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Gorgeous Jen! I just love this so much, the fringe is such a wonderful detail.
These photographs are splendid! With the snow, you might almost be in England....
I love them all. How perfect!
perfect+++
Sigh, so beautiful!
Oh how lovely! I don't see the blurriness of the photos, personally. You, the gown, the setting - all beautiful.
I love these pictures! You got some great snow, too. Probably because you're a little further north. We didn't have quite enough to completely cover all the grass.
This is such a beautiful outfit :) The colour looks so fabulous on you. I've also been thinking about making a wool redingote for cold weather, maybe something like this http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mehzx7K9f01rmoamio1_1280.jpg
Sanna - that is an AMAZING picture - I hope you do get a chance to make something like that. I know you would do such a great job with it! :)
You're such an inspiration! I bought some wool today and now finally the redingote will happen for me as well. It's such a perfect style for winter! Especially if the 1780s/1790s happen to be your favourite decades... I just need to finish yet another pair of stays tomorrow and then I can begin!
I've changed my plans and now I'm a bit concerned if natural white will be dull... But then again, I saw this: http://www.gogmsite.net/grand-ladies-of-the-eightee/subalbum-henrietta-viscount/1790-spencer-sisters-duches.html and thought, why not. I just want to trim it somehow to give it a little bit of detail so it won't be so boring... I'm having a hard time finding out how you can trim woolen redingotes... any suggestions? Links? Paintings?
