I never knew those one. Thanks for sharing information on tea dresses? Is that the term for there? By the way, I love the gown from the House of Worth. I super super like it! Ancient look with a touch of elegance. Excellent! Just wondering how uneasy to dress like those. I bet they are so heavy based on the cloth material. Just glad I'm not born on those days.lol. Though I'm not against or any of it 'coz it stil looks good, just that, I don't think I can handle long on those kind of dresses. Hwuah! I never knew those one.

Although the "T-Dances" in Provincetown and San Fran today don't include quite as many ruffles, the idea is still to reterritorialize the gentility you're talking about here!
