This Saturday, I shall be at the Romantic Novelists' Association
Regency Celebration Day where I have been persuaded by my friend
Christina Courtenay to be on a panel discussing sex and the Georgians and volunteered by my friend
Louise Allen to help out with a Regency walk around St James. In costume.
Now, I have quotes for the panel, so that's okay. I have a map and notes for the walk, so that's okay.
I have a faux Regency dress, a pretend spencer, and shawl to wear.
But what do I do with my hair? I'm really tempted by Miss Harriet and Miss Elizabeth Binney (John Smart 1806)...
No, you're right. It'll be a scrunchy, a thousand hairpins and a lace hanky to cover the lot up.

I am also suffering hair worries. The last time I dressed Regency, I had longer hair.
Don't forget the wonderful possibilities of a turban (if you're in evening dress).
Can't wait!

I hadn't thought of a turban, Julie! But this is a day ensemble - more of a knocking about the house ensemble, really - so I have strong suspicion it would look as if I'd just washed my hair
It's going to be fab, Liz. Looking forward to meeting your dd !
Turban gets my vote, too! And we want pictures....
So jealous. I wish I could go too, but will just have to read about it on everyone's blogs. Sigh.
Have a fantastic time.
