Sacramento Gold Rush Days

[mia_67]

Hi all!
My latest frenzy was getting ready for Sacramento Gold Rush Days, which has been held every Labor Day weekend since I don't know when, but I've been wanting to go for a couple of years. This event is definitely a challenge since it's set 1850-1865 or so in a place that is know for over 100 degree days in the summer. How the heck can they do

You guys look cute! What is your dress made of? I've been eyeing those sheer dresses at the graceful lady site for a while now. I am facinated by the idea of something sheer in that time period - I always think, what were the social implications?

It bugs me so much when people don't dress up for events - but what can you do, eh? I don't get it - how can you not like dressing up??

My dress is made of cotton voile. I found some really thin voile for a great price at the LA fashion district. I originally bought some white then after I got home I was kicking myself for not getting more. So I called the shop and asked him to ship me more- we had a bit of communication error and he shipped green instead of the lilac color I wanted but it all worked out in the end.
