Firing On Fort Sumter: The Opening Ball: ATTIRE
http://sumterball.blogspot.com/p/attire.html
We would be delighted if all guests attended in dress appropriate to the middle of the nineteenth century, but recognize that not everyone is a reenactor and owns period clothing. Please dress in your modern "Sunday Best" if you do not plan to come in military uniform or Victorian civilian dress. A Ball was a fancy occasion, and guests wore the best they owned. If you wish to obtain Victorian attire, these graphics will be a good guide for you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
