Snobs vs. Hobos

So whilst we were researching for Candide we watched Marie Antoinette. This inspired my friend to set her birthday party to be 18th century and like a sugar party. So she created the theme snobs vs. hobos... meaning that the costume crew would a beautiful rich 18th century costume to show off there work and anyone that couldn't make could tramp down as much as they wanted. So being inspired by Candide I made my own little created. However... my original corset didn't exactly work. So I improvised by using one of my black tops and made it look like a chemise and wore a corset on top. This did make me look a little more posh prostitute than 18th century snob, however I was happy with my creation.
