Notes on Events

The events listed on these pages are those events that are either hosted by the CGW or one of its members. Hosting an event may consist of running the entire event, like a tea at a restaurant, or being the point-person for a meetup where you welcome members of the CGW to join you at an event organized by someone else, like a picnic at a historical house or a museum trip. If you would like to host an event, please contact Shawn Crosby.

Official CGW events are those either hosted or sponsored by the Guild or its members, or an event at which the Guild has partnered with another group/organization.  While Guild members typically enjoy special benefits at official events, they will vary from event to event. If you would like to host or suggest an event, please contact Shawn Crosby at obishawn@gmail.com. For up-to-the-minute updates, please visit our Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CGWcostumers/

Artistic Reform Tea - Saturday, November 13, 2010

Nature will triumph over fasionable dress at the CGW's Artistic Reform Tea. Corinne Pleger and Elizabeth Reed will be our hostesses at this refined, yet comfortable event. Bloomer suit, tea gowns, athletic costumers and gowns inspired by the paintings or the Pre-Raphaelites are all highly encouraged Artistic Reform wasn't just for women, either: Oscar Wilde conducted a lecture tour in which his costume of choie featured velvet knee breeches.

Mark your calendars, save the date and get inspired to sew! For further information, please contact Elizabeth Reed by phone at (310) 282-8556, or by email.
