I know the theme is 1920's, but I look wide as the Mississippi in a drop waist dress, so I am opting for a country old fashioned look in my own way ... High waist, I don't look like a bus etc! Can't wait to meet all of my sisters!
do you have a special costume? are you going in 20's style? let's hear it! I can't wait! we need to start an official countdown 'til farmfair!

Welll, according to Contrary Wife, I'm gonna be dressed in a Squidward costume while, she.... YES, she, will be dressed as Spongebob Squarepants. We shall see how this plays out.

I'm totally stressing about this - I think I'm just going to wear what I'm comfortable in - a cotton skirt and T-shirt. I'd love to wear one of the 20s dresses, but I'm like you Annika - every pattern I find for the 20s is dropped waist and I can't wear those. Maybe, I'll make a cotton housedress from a later era - 50s or so, if I get time.

I will be wearing a mixture of jeans and t-shirts and cotton skirts. I don't look the greatest in 1920's either- Unless I get to cross dress and wear a pin stripe suit! LOL

I am going comfortable and that will depend on the heat how stripped down I get! Ha! Like I would strip down any way shape or form with this body! ;D I am going to have fun no matter what I wear. Can't wait to meet the farmgirls! P. S. I have been wondering if we would have some sort of name tag with our call names and real names...anyone know. Or should we try and make something?

I think I will go in my black fringe flapper dress for the Friday night event, but I will dress comfortably for the long drive the next day. I don't want to feel sticky/sweaty in a little dress lol!

This gorgeous pattern has been in my 'want to sew' stack for quite some time... very 20's. If I were going I would certainly make and wear this!

It has full pallazo pants and a feminine cape over the shoulders

So....spongebob, will you have you're Kay-rah-tay headband on? Or will you be carrying your jelly-fishing net with you? BTW: wooden spoons are considered abuse!! I'm telling!

PS: I dont think I'm gonna need a name tag...you know who I am by my stupid belly laugh!

what to wear, what to wear,,,,hmmmm, me thinks a simple farm dress & apron (after all, there were farm girls in the '20's)and of course my giddy-up boots....but if I have time I just might try to stitch something up 1920's style...as for the hair, Rene your hair cute & color is adorable!

Of course blue jeans and t-shirts are fine, but for those of you who want to style it up a bit, here are some fun ideas straight from the 1920s. Enjoy!

Those styles sure were made for "skinny minnies" weren't they? I really like the one on the 33rd Anniversary Style Book.

You have the COOLEST STUFF MJ!

I think I will bring my pics of a magazine I found in WV, dated 1918 of boudouir fashion.... um...no. I am not wearing anything of that sort to farm fair... I don't want to scare anyone off!

I think I have an apron close to a couple of those pics... but that will mean, deleting something from my ALREADY PACKED suitcase! HA!HA!

Thank you for the pics on the 20's MJ. These have not been real easy for me to find, but I do think I have the perfect dress that will work with a little altering. Can't wait. I'm beginning to pack already. See you all there.
