I didn't look at everything, but there is an amazing 1888 Worth russian Court dress : http://www.imamuseum.org/art/collections/artwork/imperial-russian-court-dress-worth-charles-frederick

That's about an hour away from me - a real nice museum, I don't remember seeing many textiles when I was there last. Too bad that Worth isn't on display!

So gorgeous, and totally wakes up my Russian court dress lust again! I want to make one sooo much! And this one with beads and sequins makes it seem so much more possible than all metal thread embroidery...

I wish it had the sleeves too!
