On the road to the historical past

The 2023 Historical Romance Retreat begins October 25th at the Westgate Hotel in San Diego, California.

This Registration sign is from the very first Historical Romance Retreat in 2016, and what a fun event that was.

I’m as ready as I can be for this week’s celebration.

If you’re a newsletter subscriber, you’ll have already seen pictures of a few of the gowns I’m bringing, but here they are:

A Regency gown, front-opening. The sash will flip around to tie in the back.

A Georgian gown. This one has side panniers, and will look much better when those are added.

What era is this? 🙂 This is built from a Regency pattern of a front-opening Spencer. Strictly for day time wear.

I’ll have more pictures for you next week.
