  2. Fun! What a great shade of blue! That is the second dress I have seen with that peculiar half-over skirt. I wonder how common they were? When and where is this dress from if you know?

  3. It is from 1870 and the website which has a ton of other vintage fashion finds is www.augusta-auction.com I have noticed a few of this style gown although not a lot of fashion plates which is interesting, I know that this is the second one that I have found drool worthy in this style...
