This dress is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. There's very little information about it on the museums website except that it bears a lable reading 'Marguerite Robes, Paris'. Worn over a crinoline, the fabric of the skirt itself is actually very fine, so much so that when worn without a peticoat, as in some of these images, the crinoline can be seen through the cream panels. The dress has an evening bodice with a bertha and a day bodice with long sleeves as well as a net fichu. I love how much detail there is in this dress, the amount of workmanship in it is amazing. You can view more pictures of this dress on the Met Museum's website.
