If I had the $$$, this dress would definitely be mine. It looks to me like a more wearable version of this Maid Marian dress from the BBC's Robin Hood that I have long been admiring:
I admit, I was not a big fan of the corset on the outside of the dress look at first, but it has grown on me. It does create an awesome silhouette, in making your waist look smaller as it goes into the larger skirt, which is of course, the same objective as mid-19th century dresses. Makes you think all fashions really do return, doesn't it :)?
