We had a great time at The Watermark Theatre on Saturday evening with our period fashion show.
The evening started with a vignette from the new Watermark Theatre play, "What to Wear to the Birth of a Nation".
The fashion show was narrated and presented by myself. The first period dress to be modeled was worn by Prince Edward Island's Lt. Governor's wife, Her Honour, Mrs. Frank Lewis. During the show we saw many dresses and outfits made by myself and my sister Anita. In addition to our fashions were the dresses created and modeled by many of the people who took the period costuming class (taught by A.B. White and myself) at my house last winter. We ended the fashion show portion of the evening with Gracie Finley modeling a light yellow gown I made for my sister Vivian.
The next item on the agenda was Intermission - an opportunity for those attending to see displays; mingle with models and see them up close; and to have tea and dessert served by the ladies of the I.O.D.E
The last item on the agenda was Period Dance - English and Scottish Dance and Quadrilles presented by the Beaconsfield Assembly Dancers.
We had a great evening with a full theatre - thanks to all who participated.
