Set for Spring 2017 — 10 Comments

  1. Lovely post. I was at my first (and probably last) Regency Ball last Autumn and it was fabulous!! Loved the costumes.

  2. I went to my first Regency Ball in Louisville last year. Had a terrific time, the dances are complicated and I was ‘Wrong Way Collins’ a few times. Like you said, there are nice and not so nice dancers. By accident I lined up across from a woman’s husband, and she shrieked at me like a banshee, that he was her partner. I gave her my best withering Lady Catherine glare and moved over.

    • Wow! That was pretty inappropriate. I’m guessing she wasn’t a regular dancer. In every group I’ve ever danced with, we switch partners every dance and it would not have been a big deal. I’m glad you could handle that graciously.

  3. I enjoyed this post on you dancing experiences. My husband and I have now been participating in traditional British dance classes and balls, both Scottish and English, for over 30 years and still find them to be lots of fun with plenty of good exercise and great music. My husband now serves as our class’s instructor. We have also participated in our area’s Renaissance Faire for the past two years but hope by next year the organizers will see the wisdom of moving the date away from August. Renaissance costumes with tight bodices just don’t mix well with high heat and humidity!

    • Our local Ren Fest in in a hotter part of the year and I’ve always wondered why, given the weight of the costumes. Glad you have the opportunity for such fun!

  4. I always did want to see my husband in an authentic Regency costume either that or a kilt! Not going to happen! The only time we go dancing is at a wedding! Love your gown and the feather in your hair!!!!

    • Thanks Carole! I have to admit, there is somethin about a guy in a cravat–so much better than a tie! Funny, hubby and I don’t dance at wedding, English Country is like the only dance style we can manage!
