The Style Show at the 11th Annual Jane Austen Festival was, as usual, a treat. Narrated by Betsy Bashore and featuring many of her creations, the models allowed us a good look at not only the gowns but the accessories- shawls, reticules, hats and even some hand stamped gloves. In the photos below we have included a full length view of each model along with several close ups of some of the most interesting features.
For more information on Betsy Bashore’s fashions visit http://www.19thus.com/WomensClothing/WomensFashionPresentations.html Bashore admits that some of the fashions have been featured in different years shows. As Bashore joked “she can only sew so fast...” can only produce so many new fashions each year. But as I prepared these photos I noticed something very interesting. Looking back through the style shows from other years some of the gowns have been shown before. But a testament to her creativity is the fact that the same gown, on different models, with different accessories can take on a completely different look.
