I'm going to a picnic on Sunday (if the weather holds up!) and it has a Brideshead Revisited theme. Haveing never seen the tv series or read the book, I have no idea what the hell to wear. I Googled it and have some idea of the time period, but couldn't find an image if an example of what the ladies wore. I have the feeling that they wore corsets and the like, but I don't really fancy going to a picnic in the middle of the day in a corset!
Any ideas?

Haha, well that's a coincidence. It's in Leeds. 2 of my friends are moving to London and this is their farewell picnic. Not really sure why they have to have this theme though! Grr!

I'm not wearing a dress like the ones in those pictures, no way! I think you'd be better without the cardigan and just that dress on its own. But obviously if its cold.... Do you have to do your hair differently then?

Well if it's beautifully hot, then I won't bother with the caridgan, but I have a feeling its going to rain!
Oh God, I forgot about hair. Might just put it in a pony tail.
