This weekend, I went to the The Edwardian Ball & World's Faire 2011, held in San Francisco's Regency Ballroom (built 1909) on January 21 and 22, celebrating macabre mid-century storybook illustrator Edward Gorey, as well as Edwardian, Victorian, and Roaring Twenties fashion.
Everyone dressed up to the nines in vintage, antique, or costume replicas of clothes from the Victorian, Edwardian, or Art Deco eras. The woman on the far right made her own feather-and-pearl bustle.
