A Regency-era Inspired Costume
This can be as simple as a high-waisted dress and a shawl, or as involved as an authentic Regency gown and bonnet. Be creative and have fun!

A Tea Cup and Saucer
Every lady will need to bring her own tea cup and saucer. Use one you already own or go on a hunt for one. Each place setting will be as unique as the lady who brings it.
helpful hints:
Some lovely and unique tea cups and saucers can be found online at both eBay and Etsy.
Check your local thrift stores.
(If this will be a hardship or you are coming in from out of town and can't bring a cup and saucer with you, we will have some tea cups and saucers available to borrow for the tea.)
*Optional: If anyone is willing to bring a couple dollars to help cover the cost of renting the room, this would be greatly appreciated
