Genre Night at ACFW Conference

On Tuesdays, we like to share historical tidbits. I had a different post planned for today, but I wanted to share a little fun some of us had over the last few days!

From September 12-15 about 600 hundred writers, editor, agents, and authors gathered together in Indianapolis for the American Fiction Writers Convention. A new addition to the event was a Genre Night where participants could come dressed up in the time period that they write or as a character from their novels. As creative-types, this was embraced by many of us.

So today, I will be sharing some of the period costumes worn at the conference.

Fellow Stitches Thru Time (STT) bloggers: Crystal L. Barnes and Jodie Wolfe

The West meets Victorian: STT bloggers, Susan Mires and Cherie Gagnon

STT blogger, Lora Young, poses in a costume she sewed. You can see her write up on creating her dress under the heading Woven Wednesdays. Yes, it seems as though there is some time warp with the nineteenth century lady with two baseball players from the twenty-first century!

A few dressed in Medieval costumes that were fantastic!

Regency ladies who look like they walked out of an Austen novel.

We even had a few flappers at dinner.
 
 
Hope you enjoyed catching a glimpse of just a few of the costumes from Genre Night!

 

If you had to choose an outfit, what would you wear?
