See, now I think that dress isn't all that terrible. this was my first dress (http://www.modehistorique.com/elizabethan/firstdress.html), made by my mom from Elizabethan Costuming from the warped minds of by Winter & Savoy. Complete with corset pocket in the bodice!

I owe a lot to Ms. Winter & Ms. Savoy... If it weren't for them, I'd never be wearing things like this (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2172943791_0628263ca6_m.jpg).
