Scout: Leaders' hike invitation

"Let them eat cake" (aka. HAPPY2014)

The year 2014 got a warm welcome by the NSF-scouts at Ransbergs Herrgård in Värmland, Sweden. Alot of new wonderful friends, a nice cavalier, good food and drinks (virgin of course). Since it was a masquerade ball it was quite expected of one to make their own mask, do alot of dancing and be just a bit over the top. So I went dressed up like Marie Antoinette. BEFORE she lost her head of course.

It was alot of preparing, traveling time, time traveling and fun! The dress I wore for the evening I had found at a local thrift store (hehe, you probably got that thrift shop song in your head now)  in Växjö. It needed some repair and modification. Handmade old thing. So I pimped it and puffed it (didn't have nearly enough volume at the back to measure up to Marie's standards!) Also customized some earrings to match the necklace and I hand stitched an underskirt that was very much like a pair of bloomers. My twin sister arranged the wig which took an incredible amount of time. THANKSx2! And thank goodness that style not in fashion now...
