The following quotation is from Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2003 All Rights Reserved Epilogue


Tom Byrd, newly outfitted in proper livery for the occasion, was standing by the bamboo screen that hid the chamber pots, charged with watching the guests to prevent petty thievery.

Short one today. This is our annual Highland Ball Weekend and I'm a co-chair. Lots of details and it could all go to smash. Wish me luck - I don't think any of the dancers will steal anything but you never know.

[> Hope you had a blast!! Tell us about it. Diana does realize the importance of “dress” and describes it well. I learned a lot about costuming when Teri Dresbach was the designer for the first few seasons of Outlander. The attention to detail in ALL the costumes honored Diana’s descriptions throughout the books. I assume you dress up for the Annual Highland Ball. I wish we could share pictures here. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, March 12 2023, 10:42:14

[> [> We do dress up. I squeezed into a gown I haven't worn in years, navy blue sleeveless, pleated v neck with soutache around the bottom half of the skirt. The men were completely kilted up, they looked really good. The live music was amazing, the food was good, everyone had fun. We got home after midnight but had to be up at 7 to set up for the brunch dance that was all afternoon today. I'm exhausted, everything hurts, but we had fun. -- kgp, Sun, March 12 2023, 15:38:19

[> [> [> It sounds like so much fun! A roomful of MIKs 😊❤️👍. What is a soutache? It was a floor length gown, right? I love navy blue and the sleeveless would keep you cool. And getting up at 7 was really 6! -- Kathy in Pa, Mon, March 13 2023, 10:21:38
