A dress created to accompany the (few) of elegant evenings of the past Miss .
A dress in taffeta silk, with ruffles all, the work of a craftsman (skilled) at the time.
A bell-shaped dress, and with a little 'to train, as is appropriate, to walk elegantly, without being hampered.
imagine the tiny but not too good posture by probably supported by a corset, not too strict, which would give the right emphasis to the figure. The image to, to head up , arm (maybe) of his father, in a salon well-lit and elegant turn of the century.
Since the story here.
This dress also had mixed fortunes, and ended up inside a trunk , which occasionally was rescued from the hands of rogues in a group of children looking for fun afternoon, during the long winter afternoons.
He and other clothes, and dressing gowns and shawls, were indispensable tools for improvised theater, funny scenes with which to entertain family in the evening.

One of these children (now grown) he brought with him some, the greatest care, certain that sooner or later would serve again.
And so in the early 80s, this dress was transformed . Added flounce of red plumule , shortened, and there he become ....
a wonderful costume to try to dance a Sevillana !
With the addition of a shawl, silk flowers and a scarlet comb, alas, lost.
was turned to me, I wore it at the time, and today, rescued from the famous trunk, after having put in sixth, handed him over to my turn with all the burdens of its history, ready for a new dance and a new spell!
Happy Carnival!
