Thanks for that link! I loved so many of the dresses/costumes in “My Fair Lady”, even the day dresses were great, such detail! — watched the Ascot scene last night... those hats were amazing!

(”My Fair Lady” is my hubby’s favorite musical... he knows Prof. Higgins lines by heart...)

(currently sporting navy yoga pats and a raglan-sleeved T-shirt with the Cat in the Hat and the word “Trouble” on it, messy braid/bun & Downy Woodpecker earrings - LOL)

We should make it a rule that when we’re being ‘catty’ on these Fashion Threads, that we have to confess to what we’re wearing, LOL!

I can’t remember the last time I wore heels. Or pantyhose.
Retired Life is Awesome. :)

My Mom (86!) still sews like a dream. She was Costume Mistress for our local Theater Troop for close to 40 years. She’s done so many creative costumes, but her favorites, too, were all the Black and White creations she got to design for, ‘My Fair Lady.’ Her costumes have been rented by lots of other theater groups, too. She’s a wiz!

Our family dog, Ginger, looked like a fox, so with a little bit of hair trimming and some make-up she played the Fox in MFL, too.

I always worked Stage Crew and Dad built the sets. I was a turtle in a children’s show one year. My one theatrical experience - I like it better behind stage. ;)

My mistake - Ginger played the fox in ‘Mame.’ Not MFL. ;)
