requested by: @madscientistfrommars
request: purple ballgowns from the early 1860s
commentary from the curator: interestingly, purple seemed like a pretty popular choice for daywear in these years, but not as much for eveningwear/ballgowns. however, I did find these two, so I hope they match what you were looking for! ☺️
