@theartofdresscz: Parisian society hostess Madame Nicolas de Bénardaky as “Valkyrie” in a fancy dress costume by the great haute couturier Charles Frederick Worth. Worn in June 30th, 1891. The label read “Marcel Proust frequented Madame Bénardaky’s (1855-1913) salon in her mansion on the Rue de Chaillot [in Paris]. Her daughter Marie was a childhood friend of the writer.” I had the pleasure of seeing this beauty—along with dozens of other Worth treasures—in Paris last summer in the exhibition Worth: Inventing Haute Couture.

It’s wild how the right shoulder and bodice look yellow in person, but look so dark in the photograph.

I was not prepared for the contrast of colors and fabrics. That is a work of art.

This makes me think of the movie GASLIGHT, remember how the jewels were hidden on the opera costumes?? Now I see how that was possible
