yeoldefashion:

Beetle wing embroidered ball gowns were the crème de la crème of fashion in the 1850s.

This gown is decorated with beetle wing beetles! and also has a matching shawl.

    can I wear this every day. I guess I’ll just have to be careful when I sit down not to crush the beetle wings...
