Hands down coolest Victorian dress ever. Check out the parasol pocket on the skirt!!!

IMA says: This two-piece visiting dress is made in two shades of gray silk faille. The skirt is lavishly trimmed with pleated silk swags, silk fringe, flounces and piping. Pleated ruching and silk fringe are also used on the bodice. The skirt has a short train and is worn with a bustle. The triangular pocket on the right side of the skirt, trimmed with buttons and cord lacing, was designed to hold a parasol.

  A parasol scabbard! Oh my God! *begins flailing and redoubles efforts to create an aristocratic steampunk persona*

  This dress has been on my blog before, but I didn’t notice the parasol pocket the first time. I’ve got to do that...
