    1. I can practically hear the crunchy fabric on those sleeves! But check out her belt and the unique strip that runs from her waist to the middle of the bodice with a flower.

    2. you can pretty much narrow this down to specifically 1894-1896 when puffy sleeves were at their biggest

    3. Few women could pull off that combination of enormous puffed sleeves, ribbons and furbelows, but she manages to not look ridiculous.

      Pretty sure I’d feel like a float in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
