If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭

Do you ever see a dress and feel like you can hear it? This one certainly seems like it would make the most delicate shushing sound over the parquet floors. Dating from 1867, this dress has all the volume of the decade but with a lot of the 1870s precursors to come--especially in that bodice and the contrasting lining.

It's made of the most beautiful sky blue satin, and the tulle cascades down the middle of the skirt almost like a waterfall. The museum notes that the tulle was replaced in the 1980s, and that makes sense. I imaging the original might have been pretty yellowed by then.

Personally, my favorite part is the growing size of the stripes down the sides of the skirt over the petticoat. That, and the peep of satin at the hem! So lovely. From the Albany Institute.
