Ian and I are going with some friends this year, but I feel like everything I have is "played out." I'm thinking about wearing my brown silk taffeta dress, but putting some bows down the front of the bodice, as seen in some 1850s images.
Here's a bad example,

The dress has short sleeves and is more of a dinner dress, but I want to wear something fancy and not just my usual bubble print dress. I also want to make a belt to jazz it up a bit. I bought a small gold buckle a little while back, but haven't made a belt to use it with yet.
I also wanted to get a pretty drastic haircut (maybe above the shoulders?), but that has been put off until after the Faire. I have enough trouble as is with doing my hair at the length it is now, I doubt I'd be able to conjure up any hair magic with the new haircut. That, or I just wear my bonnet the whole time, but then, which bonnet?! I have a white bonnet that I love, but it's not very "London in winter" like the event proposes.
Decisions, decisions. . .
