This week's is one of my favorites, the 1870-80 court dress of Maria Feodorovna (although only a grand duchess at the time). It really is a fairy tale princess dress! Here is a portrait of her in a similar garment.

This week's is this 1890s visiting dress. It has the era's characteristic gigot sleeves, high neck collar, and prominent S line silhouette. In the other picture, you can see her wearing a very similar outfit

This week's late is this 1898-99 maternity dress. It was worn when Alexandra Feodorovna was pregnant with Maria Nicolaevna, her third daughter. This dress also has the exact same colors as my childhood bedroom!

This week's is Maria Feodorovna's 1893 visiting dress from the House of Morin-Blossier. It was founded by two sisters who went on design dresses for a number or Queens and Princesses, including fashion icons Maud of Wales and Mrs. Vanderbilt.
