Fashion - Turn of the Century - # 6

Fashion #6
I especially love the color match of the dress and the butterfly wing.  In looking at women's fashion history I have noticed how opposite female dress is to bird species where the male is the one that is the most flamboyant colorwise.  Take a cardinal for instance, the male red announces "look at me" versus the pale of the female of the species.  Is that a protection characteristic for species survival?  Have to do some research on that.

    Love the artfully coy expression on this one!
