The flairs really make it stand out then all the other dresses. If I could choose a prom dress mine would be this elegant one. I think this dress is very elegant.

It was directly downstairs from the Ancient Egyptian galleries and if you look at Egyptian dress and style, you can see its influence reaching through 3000 years to a dress like this. I thought there were many outfits that reflected Egyptian influence, including "Tucked in Red" and "Pretty in Pink" with all its draping. I liked the introduction to this exhibit -- that fashion is an immediate expression of our zeitgeist (good vocab word -- "spirit of the time") and is completely integrated with our lives. It speaks of dreams, desires, memories and experiences. I wonder what ancient Egyptian fashion says for the ancient Egyptians sleeping in the galleries upstairs? They were an incredibly stylish people. What were their dreams? I hate to see this exhibition come to an end.
