Beetle wing embroidered ball gowns were the crème de la crème of fashion in the 1850s.
This gown is decorated with beetle wing beetles! and also has a matching shawl.
I just want you all to know that my lady boner for this dress is epic in its magnitude.
Just sayin’.

can I wear this every day. I guess I’ll just have to be careful when I sit down not to crush the beetle wings...
