HELLO FRIENDS!! So, when I got an invite to a Victorian Ball in Chicago this past spring, I immediately said YES (duh). But just one problem... I needed a head to toe Victorian look. Luckily, our friends Abby Cox and Nicole Rudolph swooped in to make me a historically accurate 1870s ballgown, and then Jenny Rose Lafleur gave me an 1870s head makeover to complete the look!! And then - we fulfilled my goth victorian dreams and went to a ball (!!). What era should we explore next?
