Ball gowns and tiaras

[cats' staff]

Smudge is already planning her outfit for the summer ball but is a bit concerned that another cat may choose the same outfit. She has asked me to start a thread so cats can plan their outfits to avoid this horror!
She is currently thinking pink (of course!) and had started to collect feathers for a boa but the staff hoovered them up!

[calismum]

Alfie will be wearing a black cape and top hat with a tartan bow tie and waist coat. He hopes that will not clash with anyone else (although he does say worrying about outfits is more a female thing!)

[angieh]

Smudge's forward thinking is a very good idea, cats' staff! But fancy you hoovering up her feathers - what were you thinking?!!

There may be quite a lot of pink - I think we need to liaise about the shade more than anything. I was trying to steer Kizzy towards pale jade, which on its own is not perhaps a particularly lovely colour, but it would go with her eyes so well. She however is holding out for cerise!

Cleo has never worn even a collar-I could comb her just before the ball but she might just make butter,dribble a bit and then fall asleep-she usually does

Leia is wearing a brilliant yellow gown, as her eye are not exactly green nor exactly yellow, and yellow definitely brings out the green in them. She overheard me telling someone once that she looked exactly like my late Misty except that Misty had vivid emerald eyes.... that has bothered her ever since,

She is naturally wearing a tiara, and has asked me to hurry up and find her one with topazes, rather than common diamonds! She says I have wasted too much time arranging transport to the Ball with strange conveyances like flying carpets, swan boats and elephants......

She commiserates with Smudge and the feather fiasco ...it is so hard to find competent help these days.....

Can anyone tell Kizzy whether fans are "in" this season?

I think for formal balls fans are a great accessory.

She may find something of interest in this 'shop'

Oh those peacock fans are lovely, and if the night were to be warm how very useful too. I wonder whether it might be possible to peep out from behind such a fan in order to catch unwary mice unaware .......... (sorry, I digress .... )

[dandysmom]

Oh that peacock feather one is stunning, and I like the one with guinea hen feathers too! Aggie, Kizzy should definitely carry one, she'll be the belle of the ball!

[CathyW]

the boys will be wearing a 3 peice suit each. ronnie will be wearing an amber kercheif (to match his eyes) and reggie will be wearing jade green to match his eyes.
and BTW they both dont have dates. so if theres a pair of lovelies who want to go to the ball with them. just call. ;)

Leia wonders if Alfie will sign her dance card at the Ball ...he sounds such a distinguished gentlecat!

This is the tiara she's decided on......

Maxi and Maisy as they have never been to a ball before are not really sure what to wear, with them both being so young they would like something very young and trendy looking, has anybody any ideas.:D

Alfie would be delighted to sign Leia's dance card. He is practising his waltzes in the hall during the night!!! :?

Since neither Leia not I are young and trendy, will pass on this! :-D I'm sure some of the other young cats on here will have some suggestions!

Kizzy so hopes to be able to dance with everyone! She is also still undecided about a ballgown and wonders how she will be able to move about with her usual speed and grace whilst encumbered with skirts and such. The only thing she is quite taken with is a peacock feather fan and she rather fancies a "wistful" hat or headress of somesort. She absolutely refuses to wear shoes, even sateen slippers.

Leia also refuses to wear slippers of any sort, and as she only plans to dance decorous slow dances like waltzes does not feel the gown will impede her. She suggests that Kizzy might like an ostrich plume hat to continue the feather motif ........

........ and a necklace of blue tit feathers ...... or is that a bit tasteless?????

(as you know Kizzy is a bit of a huntress)

Smudge warns Kizzy not to spread the feathers out as hers disappeared when did that! She hopes to find some flamingo feathers soon. She is currently looking at a hot neon pink fishtail number but also refuses shoes. She is also trying to persuade Tolly to at least wash behind his ears! Cleo is thinking sparkly.

My tribe have decided on Sparkly for the girls & top hat & tails for the boys, colours undeicded as yet! Definatley not pink tho.... Sasha was adamant!
