Sadly the photo does it so little justice, you need the Taschen book to really appreciate how stunning the trimming actually is.

Noooooo!!!!

I just realised something: http://www.kci.or.jp/exhibitions/index_e.html Japonism in Fashion, New Zealand Jul. -Oct. 2003, at the Museum of New Zealand, Te papa Tongarewa, Wellington Dec. 2003-Mar. 2004, at the Christchurch Art Gallery, Te Puna O Waiwhetu, Christchurch.

I know I wanted to go and now I really wish I had. I think “my” worth gown would have been in it πŸ™ Well Worth’s copy of his own gown but in pale pink rather than pale yellow and with c1893 huge sleeves πŸ˜‰ But the embroidery was the same.

pout.
