Béraud's Ballroom Paintings and the Dresses Inspired by Them

Jean Béraud (French, 1849-1935) • Une Soirée • 1878 • Musée d’Orsay, Paris, France. (Detail)

Jean Béraud • Le Monologue • c. 1880

I concentrated on the pink, red, and black dresses. The best existing real dresses I could find are below. I also chose fans that would compliment those dresses.

I think I would choose the black dress below, to wear to the lecture or performance that Béraud painted.

Which dress would you choose?

c. 1888

asking here because google is useless: for people who have vintage or otherwise delicate folding fans, how do you store them? i bought myself a fancy fan, and i think plainly shoving them in my bag would cause some damage to it, so i'm trying to think of ways to protect it.
