I've been kinda on the fence about Dress U and which events to go to. Especially the court dinner. But something finally spoke to me. While looking for images for a robe a la turque, I kept getting these really fancy gowns coming up. A bit more research, and I learned that it was Russian court gowns.
I could do that rather simply. I already have a white silk petticoat that fits over pocket hoops. And I'm sure I have something in the stash that I can use for the over dress. And best of all, I can have hedgehog hair, I love hedgehog hair!
