Dressup inspirations for New Year’s Eve 1910
Read Wikipedia’s 1909 and 1910 timelines or the Guardian’s timelines for 1899-1909 and 1910-1919.
Imagine yourself into the era between 1909 and 1910. Work begins on building the mighty cross-Atlantic ship the Titanic. Louis Bleriot makes the first flight across the Channel in a monoplane. The first rugby football match at Twickenham is played. Edward VII dies and George V becomes King of the United Kingdom. Henry Ford sells 10,000 automobiles.

Will the majority of people dress for the occassion or just make a token effort, if I bully my husband into the correct attire and he looks out of place he won’t be pleased??????
Dressing up is not compulsory, but the vast majority of guests at White Mischief do dress up. The majority of people do not make a token effort: if anything the balance is in favour of people dressing stylishly and imaginatively, so someone who dresses up will not be at all out of place.
Some female members of our party are concerned as they’ve gone for a more cabaret style (Fosse etc) can you advise whether this would be out of place as they’re having a last minute panic!
Sorry for taking so long to reply! This is more than fine – any kind of dressing up is always welcomed at White Mischief.
