Costume College Pool Party and more Turque
After checking in and unpacking it was time to dress for the Sea Sirens Pool Party. I had costume plans for pretty much every other event during coco so I wore the turque. I really like the pool party tradition, it's a great relaxing way to start things off. It was so much fun to see all so many old friends and new!
Adorable little sailor boy and mermom the lovely Jenny, our sea siren hostess
Katherine's fun Grumpy Cat wiggle dress Merja's gorgeous polonaise
Alyxx's beautiful Charles II gown a shot of the whole party
It was a bit dicey at first with the turque. I'd never tried the whole thing on together once I'd finished construction, crazy I know. I had problems with my skirt gaping beneath my bodice so my stays showed, something that was fixed with pins but seemed rather alarming at first try. Once I was all pinned together I felt much better about it, I was very happy with how close to the body the over gown was, taking the time to work with the pleats in the back really paid off.
I'd really wanted a shot of the Turque in the same pose as the fashion plate but had iphone photo failure. I'm going to have to wait for my husband to take some shots for that. Oh well, these are the best ones I got.
You can see the rest of my pool party pictures (and all my other coco pics once I upload them) here.
