Probably quite a lot; and it looks like it would have been hot and uncomfortable, too. Wonderful capture, and I'm very glad that fashion has moved on!

That is a beautiful piece of work Andrew and 173 years old. The colors have not faded at all. You put on the dress and I will help you into the Gilded Rocker. I will photograph you in there and post it. :>)

A gorgeous dress, but I'll bet it's heavy and HOT!!
Nowhere near what it would cost now to make! The hours it must have taken, such detail.. Rob
