White muslin gown, circa 1800-1810



Sometimes they get it just right.

Throughout the long history of fashion, so much of women's clothing has been outrageously uncomfortable, impractical, or unflattering.  And very often, all three.  But then there's this graceful garment, which looks like it might even be as comfortable as it is lovely.  Yes, of course, trains aren't exactly the height of practicality, but this is a gown that wouldn't be unflattering to any size or shape of woman.
