The infamous dress worn by Lady Curzon, but... in pixel form, with an elf wearing it.



The gown was assembled from panels of chiffon that had been embroidered and embellished by Delhi and Agra craftsmen using the zardozi (gold wire weaving) method. It was then shipped to Paris, where the House of Worth styled the dress with a long train edged with white chiffon roses. The worked panels were overlapping peacock feathers that had a blue-green beetlewing at the center. Over time, the metal thread in the dress has tarnished but the beetle wings have not lost their luster. The gown weighs over 4.5 kilograms (9.9 lb).
