March 31
Best.  Fantasy dress.  Ever.


Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth in 1888


Her costume on display after intense conservation work.

Beading a dress with thousands of actual beetle's wings is just a step beyond.  The Victorians didn't mess around.

If I had any occasion to wear fantasy stuff, I'd be all over this.
