Well, there are a few options for those of you interested in finding a costume for a Jane Austen ball.
There’s a ball this weekend. I have nothing appropriate to wear. Jeans and a sweatshirt won’t make the cut. They might not let me attend the ball in my regular clothes. Whatever shall I do? This is a list of options for a costume.
- DIY: You could find a dress pattern and make it yourself. There are links on Pinterest and YouTube. I added a link about a Regency hairstyle.
- Etsy: This option could save you from having a panic attack. Since I cannot sew, I would go with this option.
- Thrift Stores: You might be able to find accessories or jewelry that would work with your costume. Unfortunately, the chances of finding an empire dress might be fairly slim.

I can just see someone combing the thrift stores asking if anyone has seen a Jane Austen. Although, it is probably not the most unusual thing someone has asked about in a thrift store…
I love Regency hair ❤ wish I could do them myself
Me too! I don’t have the talent for hair 💇
Pony tail
I do some basic braiding. Pony tail for sure. 🙂 My daughter is good with hair. She dyes her own hair. Puts in extensions. She’s got talent with doing hair.
Sounds fab. I’m still stuck on French braids
I’ve been making progress. Very slowly.
Think I’ve given up 🤣
