Hi. I'm going to a murder mystery party set in London 1912. What, oh what, to wear?
Janet:
Think Victorian...but with an edge. Rent an Agatha Christie murder mystery video for inspiration and take it from there. Anything from the teens or Titanic looks such as ankle-length dresses with beaded and lace details and don't forget a headpiece...small with feathers and some beads. Check out the Ellen Christine Eclectic Shop on FASHIONDIG for some fabulous Victorian finds.
