Another yellow court gown. May I take a moment to point out the most epic feather in the history of feathers.

The green gown is a gorgeous color, and what an unusual bonnet she has!

Ooooh I love both of these! The yellow lining and accents on the blue is great, and the whole cut and fit of the white is charming! I especially love the very subtle puffs on her sleeves!

Beautiful color! Also, I’m fascinated by that unusual sleeve treatment.

Isn’t it amazing how a bright ribbon can make a simple white gown stunning?

These are adorable little things!

For the record I, Taylor Shelby, hereby state that I am reproducing these shoes with my American Duchess Pemberlies. Shoes are in possession, paint has been purchased. Their creation is imminent!
Now if only I could get my hands on a pair of those clocked stockings…

There is no such thing as too many giant feathers stuck to your head.

This gown makes me want to get down on my knees and pray to the patron saint of GIVE ME THOSE CLOTHES.
