The Titanic - Carpathia Medals, Silver for Officers, Bronze for Crewmembers, 1912

Even as R.M.S. Carpathia steamed back to New York after picking up those who had survived the sinking of the Titanic, several prominent First Class passengers - led by the redoubtable Mrs. J. J. "Molly" Brown - formed themselves into the Titanic Survivors' Committee. Apart from its desire to aid those made destitute by the disaster, the Committee also wished to reward Captain Rostron and his officers and crew for their stalwart efforts in saving so many lives.

When Carpathia docked in New York on the evening of 18th April, the members of the Committee initially dispersed to their homes and families but soon reconvened to discuss the options for suitably rewarding those to whom they owed their lives. In due course, it was decided that Captain Rostron should be presented with a handsome silver loving cup bearing an appropriate inscription whilst every man aboard Carpathia, including Captain Rostron himself, was to receive a specially commissioned medal in the name of the "Titanic" Survivors' Committee as a tangible gesture of thanks from those who had been saved.

Calling all the fashion historians of Tumblr!

I need to know where this dress is from (as in the source of the picture). Is it from a museum? An auction house? A vintage clothing store? An other place?

I originally found it on Pinterest, where, as of s too common on that website, the source was not indicated. I tried a reverse image search, but it kept bringing me back to Pinterest.

I would be forever grateful!
