[rm]

So we're back from the Regency ball, nursing miserable headaches (no exciting reason - neither of us had any alcohol this weekend, we're just unlucky), but if you didn't see on Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram:

Very cool. You two look lovely. :)

I was perhaps inappropriately amused that "Patty" kept getting auto-corrected to "party."

Don't you both look lovely!

[rena-librarian.livejournal.com]

Looks like you had fun. =) And you do both look lovely!

Where did you get that marvelous cutaway jacket???

You both look gorgeous-where does one buy a cravat in this day and age?

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Quite picturesque, the both of you.

[brilliant-snark.livejournal.com]

You both look stunning! Oh, historical garments, I wish I had more reasons to wear them. ;)

Thank you!

[rm.livejournal.com]

THank you!

Thank you!
In this case, cravat is just a very long piece of rectangular linen.

THank you!

I had it made for me years ago. It's served me well. Thank you!

[rm.livejournal.com]

We did, thank you!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank yoU!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Oh no, seriously? I didn't even notice! Hahahha.

[rm.livejournal.com]

THank you!

[kshandra]

Well, you're in excellent company:

Oh, that's so resourceful. I was hoping there was an actual shop that sold that sort of thing!

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

My goodness, but you can rock that jacket.

[ex-serenejo.livejournal.com]

These photos make me very happy.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Probably, but the long linen fabric is historically accurate (as one of several options) to the period.

You both look wonderful! I didn't know which one to respond to on twitter so I'm glad you posted them all here :)

It (and you) look great! I'm so sorry I couldn't make it this year.

Oh, thank you so much for posting these! A friend in L.A. who teaches Regency dancing sent me an invitation to their Annual Assembly. So sad I can't go. My heart did a dance looking at these photos!
