There are plenty of people dressed up (in varying levels of historical accuracy)plus there are tons of people who work there all dressed up. It's so much funner when you dress up but it's definitely worth a trip either way! I did a much less complicated dress last year and I didn't even get started on it till September so you still have time if you want make one. It'd be cool if we ended up there on the same weekend. :)Stephanie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210449948990020456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-49460652986499927102011-08-10T21:21:16.787-04:002011-08-10T21:21:16.787-04:00wow you picked some gorgeous fabrics for your outf...wow you picked some gorgeous fabrics for your outfit.

So far, they seem to work really well together except that the back of the corset is higher than the back of the dress, so I had to adjust the dress pattern. I liked this pattern because (besides being a beautiful dress) it came with a head piece pattern to cover my short hair.<br /><br />Can't wait to see your gowns too!Stephanie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210449948990020456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-42869522433367962852011-08-08T16:39:01.326-04:002011-08-08T16:39:01.326-04:00Definitely take a break!
