So I completely forgot but there's this dress I've always wanted to reproduce. It's a portrait of Lucy Webb Hayes commissioned while she was first lady by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, because of her ban of alcohol at white house functions. I know her husband wasn't the greatest of american presidents. But a. I think I kind of look like her b. I totally love the gown and c. As a teatotaller myself I enjoy the irony. and it is also burgundy velvet. 1881 is earlier than I had intended to go, but It's awfully pretty and Christmas like. (apologies on the terrible image, I had a devil of a time finding one that wasn't thumnail size)

I agree, that would be so lovely on you. You're making me want Victorian winter wear too.
