The Costume Competition at Dickens Fair 2003 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I'm pleased to announce the Grand Prize Winner of the Great Dickens Fair Costume Contest is Theresa Eacker, a member of GBACG. Her winning gown was a lovely 1840's
day dress with removable lower sleeves, self piping, decorative fraying and more exquisite details too
numerous to count. She won a Pickwick Pass for the run of Dickens next year, a beautiful
figurine of Santa Claus and a renewal of her GBACG membership. I am hoping she will bring her gown to the Victorian Costume Clinic
next year to show as an example of excellent work. |
