Original: Gothic Brocade Ballgown

Ballgown, British 1842. The Met.
I'm always a little surprised when I find an 1840s dress that I like (spent too long in the 1850s), but the conrasting front panels with the lattice-work trim is lovely. This one has a whole write-up on the Met's website, and the large-scale image really showcases the 18th century brocade and delicate looped details of the trim.
