leforetenchante: A glimmering butterfly dress & matching headdress made by Worth in 1912. Ivory silk charmeuse overlaid with chiffon, bodice and back exquisitely fashioned in butterfly wings glittering with amber beads & iridescent peacock-blue paste jewels. The costume used to belong to Margaret Draper, Princess Boncompagni, who had terrible trouble when she married into a cursed Italian aristocratic family - tragedy amidst the “grand glitter of Roman society.” Courtesy of Anne Louise Avery on Twitter. -- source link
