Gloria here, it’s been a bit grey in DC, so I am thinking back to sunnier days.🌻 This photo is from a @dccosplayphoto.bsky.social event last year. My dress fabric is from Burnley & Trowbridge, and my chemisette is by Jessica Leslie Designs. My earrings are available at inthelongrun.etsy.com.

Gloria here. I’m trying to find some serenity this week, because after this past weekend, I really need it. For now, please enjoy this flashback to the @dccosplayphoto.bsky.social event at Walnut Hill Manor earlier this year.

Gloria here. We made it to August! That’s really all I’ve got at this point. ☀️ This photo is from the @dccosplayphoto.bsky.social meetup at Brookside Gardens earlier this year. I had a lot of fun spinning at that shoot.

Gloria here, sharing a lovely photo by @lo8is.bsky.social from a recent @dccosplayphoto.bsky.social event at Walnut Hill Manor. I love the composition of this shot with the mantel clock and the mirror.

Gloria here, wishing you a happy #caturday with a photo of Victorian Catwoman! I love the spooky vibes of this shot by @angeladesigns.bsky.social from the February @dccosplayphoto.bsky.social meetup at Congressional Cemetery. There are less than 100 days until Halloween!
