Green dresses are a personal favorite; this one is up there in my all-time list.

I first ran across it when I was doing research into the history of velvet for one of my ThreadTalk subjects and I could not look away. It looks like it's made of moss, and if I wear it, I may find my way to Faerie.

The date on the gown is somewhere between 1885-1888, & it was made in Scotland by Gowan and Strachan, and is from the National Museums Scotland collection.
