This is the way they dressed during the war. This lady was carring a basket with all her needs This is how one of the soldiers dressed Ladies dresses. One of the solders Some of the pitchers, bowls and cookware One of my dear friends Debbie (she was an actor ,her hubby and grandson were riders. Another soldier.
Thanks for showing the costumes. Very interesting stuff. For how many days is this celebration going to be going on?
With the dresses they are beautiful but I wonder how difficult it would be having to do all your daily chores in them without modern machines its hard enough for me doing the dishes without soaking myself! ( hubby doesn't see the need for an electric dishwasher he has a manual one that works if he is nice to it !!)
I've really enjoyed seeing all those wonderful picies. I wouldn't like to have been the one to wash those dresses after it had been raining - just imagine all the mud they would collect!!
I think those dresses look cool too, but I'm trying to imagine how I would get work done in my garden without getting dirty LOL
Correction, glendann - that skirmish is properly known as the War of Northern Aggression. My ancestors fought mostly for the Confederate States of America. One of my ancestors was a general, who died from a belly-wound he got from a yankee.
Recreation of history is always interesting to me. I love the dresses, but wonder how women in the south stood all the pettycoats - wow! I suppose that's why they were always "swooning"
