The picture was published in a U.K. edition of 'Harpers
Queen' magazine in November, 1987 as part of an article
entitled 'Second Empire Line' - largely about the painter
Winterhalter and his pictures of the great ladies of
Napoleon III's court in their crinolines. The dress was
by Gina Fratini and cost $ 4259 then! She's a lucky girl
to be able to take a walk in the forest dressed so
magnificently.

Steve B.: "I found this by this by going to Google Argentina, translating a key word into Spanish, ('gown,' 'petticoat,' etc.) and seeing what came up. I don't know much Spanish, but it still works. I also found some really fabulous Quinceanera video fashion shows - try Quinceanera ('Quincenaera,' 'XV,''fiesta,' etc.) on Youtube. If it doesn't work, try a Spanish version of Youtube - I don't really know how I ended up on Youtube."

The original file name was "Jose Ferrer," who we presume is either the photographer or designer." Either way, this detached-pannier gown is exquisite!
