Court presentation ensemble by House of Worth, ca. 1888

“This particular gown was worn by Esther Chapin, whose great-great-granduncle was George Washington. Ordered with three bodices, it can be transformed into a dinner dress, a ballgown, and, as here, with the extraordinary train, into a court presentation gown.

The spectacular voided velvet, woven in Lyons, is distinctive for its Aesthetic Movement palette. The pale, faintly mauve, pink satin ground contrasts with the "greenery-yallery” lilies rendered in cisele, or cut and uncut, silk velvet loops. Worth thus incorporated the advanced “artistic” taste of the period into the most formal and sartorially prescriptive dress available to a non-royal, the court presentation gown, thereby transforming the retardataire into the fashionably avant-garde.“

MET. At some point the skirt has been restored

I think gnomes have their own versions of cell phones that they call Shell Phones and it's just a snail that they whisper a message to and then the snail delivers it. The only app is " enjoy sharing a berry with a snail"

Someone slipping their hand in my underwear and nicely edging me while whispering words of encouragement to get me so fucking wet for them, fingering me from time to time to check and teasing me that I should be even wetter for them, because am I not desperate for them to fuck me? They rub my clit harder and harder, pinning me down, relentlessly talking me through it with their sweet voice until I’m absolutely gushing for them
