I decided to have this as a place to keep all the dresses and gowns or other extant pieces I like in one place. I don’t repost the same thing over an over, only new to us items here! I’m also trying to steer clear of museums altogether because anyone can look up the pictures on those. I want to include pieces only in private collections since those are the ones the rest of us rarely get to see. However, if it’s a relatively small museum or one not well known to the American/Canadian public, I might post it. Feel free to say hi!
