I have absolutely NO IDEA where to put this, so please would the moderators move it somewhere more appropriate if need be...  It's a bit OT from the strict period outlook, but it's still fun.

The Pre-Raphaelites are some of my favorite painters. As long as you realize that these are all paintings by some very romantic Victorians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Raphaelite_Brotherhood), I like all three.

Yes indeed (been some of MY fave raves for 40 years!), but then so is Castell Coch.  A romantic Victorian dream built on a fantasy version of history, with some element of truth in the foundations!   That's why the Pre-Rafaelite gowns fit it so well.  ;D

I'd personally go with the first dress from the "Lady of Shalott" painting. Although the blue is also very gorgeous.

My fantasy place...faire!!! lol
