We laughed a lot and generally had a grand time. Here are some clips from the weekend, i do hope that you enjoy!

The thumbnail is definitely giving ‘The Gilded Age’ meets ‘The Avengers’ of Dress History. Everyone looks fabulous! 👏🏽
Thank you!
The skirt swoosh during the waltz lessons was spectacular. Stunning 🤩
It looks like you all had a great time.
So good!
ello friends never fails to make me smile and get me excited for more fun historical shenanigans afoot!
💖💖💖
Everyone looks amazing. But my favorite part was the taxidermy animals in embroidered outfits that looked like their insides. Thanks for sharing. 😊
that's what I skipped.
The thumbs up is the first thing I do. For three reasons.
1. So I don’t forget.
2. Because I know I have chosen to click on content I like.
3. To recognise your work of filming, editing and uploading content for my enjoyment. It’s my thank you.
Love that! Thank you!
I must admit that when you showed Sue, I absolutely said, "Polka will never die" out loud 😂
YESSSSSSSS!!!!
Ooh, I'm actually in this vlog, in the dancing segment from the ball! It was really cool seeing all of you there, even if I didn't talk to you.
Also, I've lived in Chicago my whole life and have never been to the surgical museum, so that's obviously something that needs to be corrected immediately!
The tall hat situation is TOP-TIER. Your trip looked like so much fun, and I always love to see people with their pals. So good.
Thank you! Lynn McMasters made it and it’s gorgeous!!
I love watching these videos because you're all dressed up fancy and doing the butt shaking all over the place. It's so funny
🤣😂
You all looked stunning. I grew up in Chicago and spent many hours at the museums and birthday dinners at the Drake, so thanks for the trip down memory lane.
It’s so wonderful that you can hang with your friends and chat for hours.
All those costumes were absolutely gorgeous. Your all so talented.
Thank you so much!
most fabulous music Ever!!!!! during the medical museum. ... and potion bottles!!!
Very nice . Everyone looked lovely.and having fun.
Your trip to the medical museum. Makes me want to rewatch the TV Show The Knick. It was a hospital drama I liked it a lot. I think it's set in The early 1900s. If you haven't seen it the costumes imo were good.
However I'm not a historian . It is still worth watching .
Huzzah for Shenanigans! One of the surgical paintings reminded me of the hospital Claire worked at in Paris in season 2 of Outlander. Everyone looked great!to the end.
Yes I immediately thought that too
I was just in Chicago last month, this vlog is making me miss it! I went to the field museum while wearing my full Edwardian garb. I hope you got a chance to see the old taxidermies downstairs!
Just out of curiosity - do you mean the Egyptian mummified cats? Or the animal samples?
Wow, wow, wow! Beautiful talented people. I admire all of the gorgeous dresses, thanks for showing. Looks like you had fun!
I was not expecting a flashback to that time we found out 4 adults, 2 dogs and a cat would fit under my one skirt.... The humans were having fun, that cat was coerced and the dogs were just happy to be involved.... Good times.
So excited to see everyone's costumes! Your gown is beautiful!
Thank you!!
My grandfather had a 72 acre farm near Intercourse ,Lancaster County Pa- itwas been in the family and had the house was the Spring Garden Tavern built in 1852 - there was 10 acres of wood on the property - they found Dinasaure footprints in a rock in the woods - that rock is in the North Museum in Lancaster Pa
Your videos help me stop 'doomscrolling'. Thanks! I start watching and then I start listening and doing productive things.
Great to hear that!! 💖
Science museums are sorely underrated!! La Specola in Florence Italy was one of the most interesting museums I have ever visited in my life. I just remember wax dioramas of literally anything anatomical you can think of, rows of display cases with thousands of taxidermized animals, and artistic, medical drawings covering every single square inch of the walls. So glad y'all had a blast - it looked like it from everyone's socials!
What fun! Noel, you were gorgeous in your gown and also at the luncheon or tea! The whole weekend was a grand success!
Yes! Thank you!
Chaos is good
Best part tea, your hat and your trainers! I loved all the costumes and the waltzing was fun.
Thank you! 😃
Noelle, You look stunning dressed as a Girly Girl! Loved everyone’s dresses and outfits!🥰🌹
Thank you so much!!
Aww what an awesome group you all are!! Lol this looked so much fun and you were just beautiful in your incredible gowns!! You did an amazing job as usual!! Bravo!🌹💯💕
You and your friends look like people I’d be friends with! ❤❤
So beautiful! So elegant! So much fun to trick your friends into putting themselves into the body bag!?!
Hehe, I like getting the preview of Nicole's Aziraphale outfit!
"this lis like a really fucked up slumber party game" had me HOWLING!
Still working on my 18th century men's coat, sigh. But! I did finish making my new sewing table; edges not entirely square but what can one expect with the cheapest circular saw and router. Love to see you enjoying life. You looked fantastic in your wine red dress!
Thank you!
It was fun to relive the ball! Thank you!
Everyone looks lovely! I'm glad you had such a good time in this gorgeous venue. The swirling skirts during the waltzing lessons were so fun. Now I want to go dancing, but I'm not sure if I have a dress suitable for it.
I spent most of my weekend running errands, cooking, and tidying my sewing room. I did get some lovely blue wool washed that will become a medieval tunic for my boyfriend eventually.
Oooo new tunic!
@@Costuming_Drama bright blue trimmed in green and gold brocade at the neckline and wrists for cooler days at medieval events.
I love your chaos vlogs of these things so much because it really does make me feel like I'm there with you guys! Everyone looked SO amazing and I love love LOVED the surgical museum...those amazing embroidered animal organ things? Amazing. Thank you for sharing that, I never would've seen it if you hadn't!
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Most beautiful gowns all of you look so wonderful!
Thank you so much!
Everyone looks FABULOUS!
Everyone looked SO beautiful!!
Everyone looks amazing, can't decide which dress is my favorite 😄
All of you looked absolutely stunning.
The rabbits!!!...art, cool and weird and slightly yuk ❤
Yep!
I kinda want them 😂
This was so cute! The ball looked like so much fun and everyone looks so dang elegant!
Everyone looked beautiful but the wild and wacky moments were awesome! So fun to see so many of you together again having adventures!
I hope to also see Sue in person! Love Dresden files!
You are all just STUNNING
Oh I love a good museum
26:44-27:36, love the way both skirts fan out as they spin and dance. All the various cloths everyone made are beautiful but seeing the cloth's movement in dance is so nice.
How fun! You all have such wonderful adventures when you get together. Thank you for taking us along! PS You all looked fabulous!!!!
Thanks so much!
got as far as the museum, it was lovely, life happens , got back to catch end, rewatch when i can for sure lol🥰😃
Needed this today I guess. We have had contracted in our house almost every day for a week fixing/redoing our bathrooms because we had a toilet leak. The heating element went out in our oven as I was trying to bake bread and we have a mouse in our home whose been just helping it’s self to our fruit. Soo I’m a little over stressed and over things happening back to back to back. Soo this was nice to just enjoy online friends having fun.
Awww I’m so sorry!
It is soooo amazing! It's a pleasure even to watch, I can imagine how great it is to actually experience all of this!
And it's especially great to see all these beautiful and elaborate costumes in action. And the atmosphere is breathtaking.
This video definitely made my day happier. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re living the dream!
I had a super weird moment in the shots when you were all getting ready -- i used to do co-working at Colvin House and that's the room I liked XD
Darn that all looked really fun! Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for watching!
So awesome to see Sue!!! Awesome ball
Everyone was stunning!!
So much fun!
Looks super fun!
Very interesting, my guy took us to museum in his stomping grounds & I can never remember their names. Love all the variety of clothing! Makes me miss sewing so much more.
I'm Tracey, a pottery artist that has just completed Norman Medieval Fair (with my other half). Life is busy making pottery, wood shields, swords & other.
Ooooo pottery is such a cool art form!!
I'm glad your trip was good and I hope this becomes an annual event - it was so much fun!
I hope so too!
Nice to see Crissy again!
great day.❤ loved it all.
Us too!
Oh! The Field is one of my favorite places ever!
You all look so amazing! (And my bestie would totally steal the necklace you wore to the ball if she had the chance!) I love seeing everyone having so much fun!!
I'm so especially grateful for you and other costube folks for making videos about this event so that I as a chicagoan could learn about the Chicago historical costuming society! :)))
Oh do go hang out with them! They are good people!
Y'all look lovely. The food layout was impressive; hope it tasted as good as it looked! Modern "dance" moves and historical attire do not work together in a flattering way, but the waltzing does! Thanks for sharing your trip!
Seeing so many people in gorgeous magnificent ball gowns is so amazing, and inspiring at the same time! Makes me want to make at least three of my own!
It was also cool to see some museums I'll likely not have a chance to see myself anytime soon, since I live in Germany, so that was fun! I watched this vlog whilst prepping a bunch of embroidery stuff for my Big 2023 project, The Bear Gown (aka. the Lady Vex'ahlia de Rolo gown) - loads of tiny golden leaves waiting to be made. ✨️
I always enjoy your vlogs, they're kind of like a thing where I go "Okay, taking a half hour break from life, do some sewing and watch Noelle's video" and this ine was extra fun with all the other sewing folk I also follow also being around! 💕🥰
💖💖💖
Vivien's moth hairstyle in goals!
I love it!
Okay, can we talk about how excited I got when you went to the field museum? I've listened to the Dresden Files, and one of my favorite parts is the the part with Sue! Thanks for sharing with us. I felt like I was on a field trip.
Lots of love from The Bahamas!
Oh I hope you are having a lovely time in the Bahamas!!
Sue!! When you said you were going to the Field Museum, I hoped we you'd show her.
I love all your videos, I live about an hour away from the Windy City. I never knew about the surgical museum, thanks, now I have to go
Have fun!
What a gorgeous assemblage of personages!
Sue approves of your visit at the Fields Museum!!!
It looks like y'all had a blast! Your gown turned out fantastic 🎉 Well done!
Thank you!! 😊
Loved watching this, you all looked incredible! And I was so glad to see an appearance by Kaz, I didn't know you had connected! 😍🥰
I just met them! They are a delight!!
Cool tunes.
I’ve been following all the instagram posts and am sew excited for this video!
Hope you like it!
The animals with the embroidered inner structures. I found a new love. I think their b-e-a-utiful.
Everybody looked amazing, and your gown suited you SO WELL. Also, I forgot how amazing you look in Merida. You should find a way to incorporate top hots into your daily wear, cos dang that looks good!
Awww thank you!
Adjshsjdjskslsksjhajaja KAZ?!!??! One of my favorite history ppl on the toobs??? The JOY and EXCITEMENT that ran through me!
Kaz is the shiz! 💖
Everyone looked great, and it was nice seeing the gowns and other clothing I saw being made on other videos. Your gown was gorgeous!
The surgical museum was great. I grew up in Chicago, and now live two hours outside the city. I did not know about that museum; have to go there some weekend.
That ear piercing...the earring was pretty, and it looked good. I only have the regular one piercing in each ear lobe, but I'm getting ideas...
I have to look into going to the ball next year. Guess I better get working on my sewing skills! Thanks for this vlog, and the trip down memory lane! 😊
If they do it again, you should totally go!!
Looks like you had such a great time! Funny enough, I was also in Chicago this weekend, taking my kiddo to Shedd Aquarium. It was lovely. Thanks for sharing the shenanigans!
Oh I wanted to go there so bad! Next time!!
The flayed Easter bunny was....I have no words
Heh. For those of us who don’t believe in Easter, it’s less of an issue. (Also, it’s just embroidery! Don’t worry!)
and glorious embroidery it is, also hasenpfeffer came to mind
Oh that was great. I skipped the piercing segment... you were all so spectacular in your ball gowns.
Back in the 90s I took ballroom dancing and learned to waltz. When I hear about corsets and fainting I think of those 15 minutes Viennese waltzes in a tight laced corset to look special for the night. I barely managed a waltz in loose clothing.
I’m here for the chaos, it’s the best. Everyone’s dresses were epic!! I think going forward saying things are downstairs should be required. 😂
Hahahahaha
That taxidermy exhibit was phenomenal! Whooohoo for tragus piercing! Yay for dinosaurs! (That one was so derpy!) All of the dresses are absolutely SUPERB!!! So much fun.... I love the sneakers with Merida 😍 i went on a bike ride on Sunday and the rest of my week was devoted to a friend who had a hysterectomy (she is doing very well!)
Oh that’s very nice of you!
❤❤❤
Everyone looked so good and seemed like a very good time had by everyone. The diversity in colour, textures and silhouettes was just amazing. Love, love, love!
Random aside, the first time I saw a triceratops skeleton and in particular their skulls, I was shocked at how big they actually were. I thought they were like large cow sized. Couldn't have been more wrong.
They are HUGE
i enjoyed the medical museum, i really liked the first half that had all those beautiful antique medicine bottles on display and looked like a pharmacy. there was one sequence i can't remember which part but near the end of the medical museum tour where one surgical tool reminded me of a pizza cutter. the scene with the dinosaurs reminded me of a mini series called Prehistoric Park. i strongly recommend watching it's a fun series, sad it was short but it was so well done the best way i can describe it. was it had a more organic feel. and the bear at the end looked so cool, i had to do a double look because i thought he had a sweater on too lol. the ball was lovely and all the gowns were so beautiful.
Hi everyone, I'm new here 👋 I haven't finished the video yet, but I had to come to the comments section to say that I loved the part where you were getting your piercing. The way all you ladies bigged each other up, telling each other (without a shaddow of a doubt) that you were all going to look amazing and fancy ❤ I just loved it 😍 We stan women supporting each other! 💪 I felt the love in that room and it's made me want to put myself out there and find more female friends. So, thank you for that 😊🤗 New subscription added! Big love from Manchester UK xXx
Hello and welcome!!! 💖
Well, the Celtic Ren Faire was nice, but my leine wasn't able to be finished because the pattern let me down. I'll get it fixed and have it for next time. It was so cold no one would have seen it though anyway! Glad you all had a good time in Chicago!
Checking to see if you can dispose of your friends bodies is absolutely the latest trend in slumber party games
😂🤣😂🤣
That looked like so much fun
You looking incredible in your red gown. You all look gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much!
Are those embroidery skins, showing the pattern of veins on the animal’s?
Yes!!
Noelle,
Everyone was so beautiful, and the gowns were to die for gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing with us; it's wonderful seeing all of you get together again. Will you be going to Costuming College this year?
Love you guys,
xoxo's Sanide🤗
Hi! I’m glad you enjoyed! I don’t think I’ll be going this year. They’ve been having some issues understanding racism and I don’t really want to endorse that…
@@Costuming_Drama Oh no, I didn't know that! Time to start up a new costuming get together.
Great
Everyone looked stunning! There wasn't an outfit in that footage of the ball and the high tea that I did not love! I hope it was as much fun as it looked.
It was delightful, thank you!
You all look fabulous but Noelle your dress is just knockout!
Thank you!!
That hat! I love the hat you wore to tea!
Thanks!! Lynn McMasters made it! She’s a genius!
