Juanita, You did such a nice job fitting that dress to yourself. As a fellow re-enactor, I know how hard it is to fit a bodice. Thanks for entering the contest!

Absolutely gorgeous. You look like Susan B. Anthony or something. (I don't know what she looks like but I mean that as a compliment! You look like a great woman of the era.) Really authentic, perfect fit.

I do Living History at the Texas Frontier Forts circa 1848-1895. Could I share your photo on our fb page?
