@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.
photo doesn't even come close to doing that dress any justice just magnificent

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
