ANNNNDD, check out these fabulous costumes from the Dancing Through Time party. When I suggested people pick their favorite decade or century to dress up, I thought we might get a few hoop skirts. We did, and they were lovely, but we also got knights in shining armor, a dandy and some lovely maidens. WOW!
