Indeed. much like the RenFair and SCA folks.

However, I do not understand yet why the OP wants to wear 1890s
fashion to this occasion/wedding.

Yes, I knew that, see my post on March 17th "The look of the 1890s
was *not* hooped skirts. Think "Belle Epoch",and "Fin-de-Siscle".

I also provided a whole bunch of links to the 1890s women's clothing
styles on March 18th.

yes, i have the La Mode Bagatelle Reform Tea Gowns pattern,
but i haven't been brave enough to tackle it yet...partly
because i need to decide which underdress, which overdress,
which sleeves... then pick fabric.
if i trip over the perfect fabric somewhere, figuring out the
rest would be easier.

Ok, I see what you are saying.
No the wedding isn't a period piece, and
yes, at first I was thinking serious costume,
but since I am really not a very fancy person, (heck, I wear denim
jumpers to church) I have toned down my idea to it's simplest form, I
think, very little embellishment, and mostly form is my costume, not
the embellishment.
I want the A-line, with the rear gathers, but I wear that a lot
anyway, only before I didn't put as much emphasis on the A-line and now
I want to. I want a nice blouse or jacket with a princess shape to go
with the gores of the skirt, but not over the top. So I guess I can
tell her it isn't a costume, since I am not wearing the fancy
embellishment and I'm not wearing a hat,
though since I haven't got much hair anymore, I probably should.
