I am back from Costume College, and all unpacked! There were so many wonderful things that I will have to make multiple posts to summarize the whole event.
We drove down Thursday morning, and 4 of us met up partway down for lunch, and then again at FIDM to check out their costume exhibit. There were a lot of outfits from Emmy-nominated shows (most of which I had never seen), but what we were there to really see were the historical gowns on exhibit. Here are a few of my favorites.
Check-in at the hotel was an adventure, since their computer system decided to go down on one of their busiest days of the year! Luckily, we did not have to wait too long for our room, although some people who got there earlier had to wait more than 2 hours.
Right before the annual pool party there was a special taping of the Frock Flicks podcast, hosted by Kendra, Sarah, and Trystan. It was a lot of fun.
Effie Trinket (of the Costumer’s Closet) also showed up.
Our Bevy of Bathing Beauties group assembled at the podcast before going down to the pool. We made Victorian bathing suits and took some silly photos!
Maybe next year we’ll have more than one Bathing Dude.
More details about my outfit were posted previously.
Curtis was the only one brave enough to go into the pool. Some of us feared drowning.
Stay tuned for Friday!

Loved that outfit. Wish I could have joined you as I was busy sewing!
Thank you. There’s always next year’s pool party!
Oh goodness, everyone looks wonderful!
There was so much eye candy!
