I love the pattern, and the attention to detail is unbelievable. I love to imagine myself wearing such a work of art on a daily basis. This is such an amazing dress.

A true investment in a time when status was everything. They managed to construct a dress that teaches you how to carry yourself in society. A true investment in a time when status was everything.

Looking at this and then looking at some of the modern fashions that I scoff at as being "impractical" or "ridiculous" make me see this dress in a whole new light. What did people think when this style first came out?

The shape and lines in this dress are stunning. Your body doesn't make that shape by itself, the line also adds that pleated structural design to it. The color of this dress is beautiful, it is a color you really don't see all that often. The texture also adds to this dress, the texture is almost like its own piece, it is a work of art.
