This was not your traditional costume party. For starters, when my friend Southern Belle knocked at the door, I opened it to see one of these ladies in the flesh:
 |
| The green hat is eerily similar to the red one she was wearing! |
Southern Belle collects historic clothing, and she also sews her own.
 |
| Little Women-esque jacket |
 |
| My favs, the 40’s and 50’s |
 |
| These actually belonged to her grandma, who eloped in the cream one! |
After admiring the costumes for quite sometime, we were starving. Time for tea!
 |
| More tea? |
And then it was time for more dress up!
Look. At. This. Dress.
Ok, I will. This fabric is so beautiful, the picture doesn’t do it justice. the dress bodice has boning in it to make you look skinny, and one of the twirliest skirts ever.
 |
| Swing dancing? Nope, just twirling. |
What did you dress up as this year?

How fun!!!
And you can't beat twirly skirts…they were a prerequisite for all my dresses growing up and I still do the occasional "twirly check" ;-D.
1. I like your haircut!
2. I was Rainbow Brite. 🙂
3. I love this idea and your 1950's photo.
I love the retro clothes–especially from the 40s and 50s! What a great dress!

We used to have that first picture on the wall of our dining room when I was younger and I LOVE that last picture – looks like an old Poloroid! It's a blast from the past!

What a fun idea! I never thought about having a dress up tea party. Those dresses are gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by today!
What a great idea. It looks like so much fun. Who would ever think of having a dress up tea party as an adult? What a wonderful way to bring out the little girl that still lives in each of us.
Plus, the clothes were fabulous.
It looks like you had a fun time. Stopping by from SITS.
