This time last year, all I had ready for my Hallowe'en costume was an un-hemmed, un-beribboned body and one sleeve. I was disappointed.
This year, however, the dress made its debut. It was a huge hit at school, despite the fact I only got to wear it for half a day due to an early closing. The back is challenging to do up by myself; fortunately I did have a tire-woman after all, in the shape of a girl sitting outside the bathroom who offered to tighten my laces for me. After a few hours of fielding the "who are you supposed to be?" question (can't I just be a chick in a medieval dress?), I started answering Christine de Pizan as being a sufficiently obscure response to stop them asking.
The big test came Saturday at the Dovercourt Hallowe'en dance. The time had come to answer the question that has plagued mankind throughout the ages, namely, can thefrog dress swing dance? The answer is: hit it!
Now all I have to do is make the Jane Austen dress for next year!
