Oh no!! I hope it wasn't your costume that put you in a bad mood 
Hey pb! No, basically it came out pretty good, but the corset was *tight*. I ended up changing into normal 21st century clothes a few hours into the party.
Basically (I posted on the Grievances thread, I think, about it.) hardly anyone talked to me all night. I did try to start up coversations with two different girls--one I knew already, and one I didn't know but I thought she looked interesting. The conversations were short-lived and I didn't talk to them again all night; I felt sort of brushed-off. Other girls who would have been there that I know were off at a hen-do, so it left me with only hubby, but he was busy catching up with his friends, many I didn't really know.
The worst part was a sort of friend (outer circle) of hubby's who always creeped me out in the past showed up dressed to the nines as a Nazi soldier.
It made me very uncomfortable, angry and sad. It really sort of ruined my night. The lack of friends to talk to made me miss my best friend back in the US, and in general I never knew anyone who would be so sorry-@ssed as to dress up *like a Nazi*

in my old circle of friends back home and it bummed me out big-time.
I cheered up by the next day, though--it was a short-lived, though intense grump-fest.
