requested by: @caeraashe
request: 1850s black dress with rainbow (or bright multi-color) fringe shawl
commentary from the curator: I think this was the most specific request I've looked for yet (which is totally fine btw, it just sometimes lessens my chance of finding the precise thing that was requested ☺️) so I was thrilled to find one, and then so, so excited to find two! I hope these are what you were looking for! ☺️
