Probably quite a lot; and it looks like it would have been hot and uncomfortable, too. Wonderful capture, and I'm very glad that fashion has moved on!

That is a beautiful piece of work Andrew and 173 years old. The colors have not faded at all. You put on the dress and I will help you into the Gilded Rocker. I will photograph you in there and post it. :>)
