It's funny, Fashionable Reader, but I spent so much time researching clothing (for each time period that I write in) that I have gotten to the point when I see a dress on one of my favorite blogs and I instantly know which of my characters might wear it.
So I thought we would have a little game. Hope you like the idea.
Bellow I have chosen some dresses that I think utterly exemplify several of my Finishing School characters. I'll give you the list of characters and then the dresses and you can guess which would be worn by whom. I'll give you the answers in a few days.
Wanna play? You can leave your answers in the comments or you can just play along at home.
Characters Represented:
- Dimity
- Sophronia
- Sidheag
- Lady Linette
- Preshea
- Monique
- Agatha
- Professor Lefoux
