I whole-heartedly agree. I think people should dress up more than they do. It's a matter of respect for where you are or who you are seeing.

I have also always felt like I was born about 100 years too late. I love fancy dresses. I have made some really full skirts and have worn puffy crinolin under them. I also bought a hat this past summer from Kohl's and I wear that to church despite the odd looks I receive! My next quest is for lace gloves! I am going to make some when I get the time.

Thank you Clarasita for your comments. I will definitely keep your tips in mind if I make another outfit that I will be performing in. It's amazing about all the things you have to think about for such occasions! Oh--and yes, you bow with your right arm even if you are a left-handed person. :-)
Thanks!
