    What a fabulous day out filled with fun and laughter. So many beautiful and suave costumes, they were all incredible. It would have been a great surprise to the two casual walkers at the end of the video, perhaps they thought they had passed through a time warp and gone back in time. Xx❤️🌺

      Thank you very much Lenore ❤️ What was funny was that there were a lot of dog walkers about and it was the dogs that looked especially startled by us! I don’t think dogs see that well so it must have been our silhouettes that they found so surprising! There were a lot of talented sewists and stylists on the costumed walk, and everyone so friendly too 🍂💗🍂xx

    I LOVED this 🖤 and I love enthsiasts, no matter what thier hobby, craft, lifestyle or obsession is! Thank you x

      Rowan you do find the best emojis 😆 This video was a bit of an epic to make to be honest! But I was so impressed and amazed by all the thought and creativity that went into making these fabulous costumes. And those people that live their everyday lives in Victorian clothes (there was a bit of adjusting of corsets that were starting to get a bit uncomfortable by the end of the day!!) I so agree with you about enthusiasts - I also love people with passions/obsessions! Thank you for your encouragement, I might go on to tackle filming and editing a Victorian costumed Christmas, which is coming up! ❤️😘x

    Another wonderful video Samantha. All the various costumes were stunning. I was really into historical fashion for a while before I became interested in vintage. I really need to get back into sewing, although I can only hope to look half as good in my ensembles as the fabulous and creative people in this wonderful video, and I include you in that. I'm also really looking forward to the videos about more practical vintage. The only place I really go to is for walks with my dog, or else I'm doing stuff in the house so I really need some more practical stuff to wear. Yes so I'm really waiting for that one! Hope you are ok !

      It sounds like we have the same lifestyle Jody! I’m thinking we need to bring back the wrap around house coats or overalls from the 1930s/40s and 50s in easily laundered cotton or brushed cotton, then have warm dog walking clothes that cover but don’t have hems trailing in the mud! I’m glad it’s not just me seeing the need for such garments!
      Thank you too for appreciating everyone’s costumes. People looked so splendid on the day it was hard to take it all in. Finding out how they’d created their costumes and the inspiration behind them made them all more individual for me. Thanks so much for all your support ❤️

    I can tell you put so much work and effort into creating this reel Samantha. You probably didn't like the editing part. Surely you took a notebook and pen with you on the day of the event? So glad the weather was good enough too. I think the late 30's into 40's dresses is how I see you and I just see that as how you dress rather than see it as a fashion period. I suppose I am trying to say is that it is all very natural to you. Take care.

      Ah you know me so well Ian! The editing took days and there were moments of overwhelm (even thoughts of giving up 😆) but I’m so pleased I didn’t as the glorious costumes everyone created needed to be seen!
      Back when I was a student late 30s dresses sold in secondhand stores for less than the new dresses I couldn’t afford, and I loved them more and they fitted me better anyway. I still have them, they’re my old friends! Thank you for watching (and understanding me!) 🥰
