Fall is here!

And it still gets too warm in the afternoon's on most days for me to wear sweaters.... 😑
But hey, as long as the sun stays out, I won't complain!

This past Saturday we had our Summer's End Promenade.
It was so fun!! We had more people attend in costume then ever before that I can remember, and had more guys there in costume than ever before!
Which is great because we need them there otherwise those great outfits don't get to be shown off!

I'm ashamed to say that even after planning, leaving early to get down there... I forgot my camera!!
Ahhhh! That was the whole reason we wanted to get there 1 1/2 hrs early!!
Oh well, I was able to help some of the ladies with their hair, and do some others things.

I did get to get pictures with my phone, which I'm glad I got a new one with a better camera than my last phone....
The group shots turned out almost as nice as my camera, but the single shots were a little eh.

So I shall share pictures from the era's we had.

Here you shall start in the 1840's and go forward by decade (except we didn't have any 1850's) until you reach our final era of the 1940's.
Isn't it amazing how the styles changed over 100 years!

1840's outfits

The 1860's (the 1850's are very similar, but with bigger and rounder hoops)

The 1970's, from hoops to bustles.

1880's, still bustles, but they're getting smaller

1890's, practically no bustle left, they are more of a roll seated at the top of the hips.

And now we start into the Anne of Green Gables era, the early 1900's!

The 19 teens, these outfits are all from 1917, 100 years ago this year!! The boy-scout uniform is in the front. :)

The Roaring 1920's

The 1930's

And the 1940's! This era seemed to be the most popular this year!

 And then of course we had to get all the guys together for a guys only picture!

Only missing 1 of the guys! we had 18 guys this year!! Yay for all the outfits they got to show off!! :D

And now we are on break for the main events until Christmas at the fort on Dec. 9th.
We do have the schools to prepare for, including going over and accepting applicants this weekend.

Then we have the 2 orientations for those new students where us adults and 2nd year+ students show them the do's and don't of how to interpret and they get a "what to expect" from the leaders of the schools. :)

So how's your Fall going so far?
Hope studying is going well for those who are in school or collage. :)
