Historical Dress Picnic With My Friends

 

As you may know if you follow me elsewhere I recently hosted what is hopefully the first of many historical costuming meet ups with my friends. I'd spent this year working towards putting together a complete 18th century rococo outfit and this would be my first opportunity to wear it. I've been very excited about it for quite some time and the day didn't disappoint! The following blog post will be absolutely choc full of photos of the day and of my outfit, I hope you stay until the end! 

If you're going through the photos enlarged then you can use the butterfly dividers as an indicator that there's something to read~

Bettys Blue Tag Guide

I'm trying to work out when each tag for Bettys Blue was used, inspired by RaineDragon's archiving of when each lolita brand tag was used. I have quite the interest in vintage J-fashion outside of lolita, and always found it a shame there wasn't more archiving of none-lolita brands.

This blog is a WIP and will be updated as  time goes on if I find more information for tags. I'm going off information given on listings by Japanese secondhand sellers so this may not be completely accurate depending on their memory. If you have any information I haven't included, please do let me know!
