Soooooo......

[Prudence]

Gotta do Alice - there's an unofficial effort for female types to show up at an event in March as period versions of Disney princesses, although that's been extended to heroines in general, as well as villains. I'm going for something that fewer people will be doing, and a friend might go as the Queen of Hearts, so there'd be sort of a team thing going on.

I'm trying to wander away from my usual style (which doesn't seem to appear in blue, ever, anyhow) and contemplate other options - like a ladder-laced Venetian with split skirt - white under and blue dress. Possibility for a Dinah cat-esque flea fur, if I could come up with it. I have to say though - a toga would definitely be unexpected, and more likely to be completed, given the number of steampunk ideas queued up in my brain. Maybe I could convince others to go as a purple Persian/Turkish caterpillar, striped, landsknecht Cheshire cat, and the above-suggested pumpkin-panted or venetians-sporting Mad Hatter. I think there are portraits of guys in the latter with tall hats.
