And Now for Something Completely Different

I recently came across this fashion plate, La Mode Illustree, France 1887, via http://oldrags.tumblr.com/:


If I had an occasion to make a Victorian Fancy Dress... I'd totally make the dragonfly dress. I do love the game one too, but you know me. Anyone up for a Victorian Halloween party in 2012 or 2013?
