That's an interesting dress! It looks reflective of the Greek and the Regency era, and yet it's its own style! Thanks for posting it. :-D

Yes, I thought it had a bit of a Regency look to it too. :)

I love this dress! Where did you find those gorgeous pictures?

Wow, it's beautiful! And a very unusual style - as you've said, it has a Regency feel to it, but then the sleeves are almost medeival in style.

Adina, the pictures are from an auction site that is here in the US. They sell a lot of pretty clothes. :)

Rachel, I like the sleeves too! Although I was wondering why they made them out of such a drab color...but perhaps it has faded over time.
