I got my grades back, which means I can officially say goodbye to the semester, and I've gotten a lot of new followers lately, so it seems like a great day to talk about one of my most favorite historical garments of all time: Countess Greffulhe’s tea gown.

Countess Greffulhe herself was more or less a typical French socialite. Fabulously wealthy, a great beauty of her day, patron of the arts, etc etc. However, where she truly stood apart was in her dress. Her fashion sense was astonishing, even among her contemporaries.

I learned about this dress earlier this week when I saw people discussing the fact artwork from a @paizo.bsky.social game has a character wearing a dress inspired by this.

How did those colors hold up so well? Is it faded? Because it sure doesn't look faded.

What a beautiful dress, thank you for sharing! I am getting peacock vibes from the pattern, certainly not a dress one could be missed in. Additionally, I'm so happy to see you posting over here, I missed seeing your threads.
