“Elizabeth gazed at the dress. It was one of her favorites, cut from pale-pink silk damask, with a tight-fitting bodice that sat low on her shoulders, designed to show her creamy décolletage to its best advantage. Silk-covered buttons fastened at the back and a sumptuous bustled skirt was caught up in a bow to reveal ivory satin beneath. Ostrich feathers, dyed to match the damask, waved at each capped sleeve.” DressPinkDamask Book:The Botanist's Daughter Source: The Botanist's Daughter
“Elizabeth had lent her an aquamarine dress, originally made for Georgiana, with elbow-length sleeves and intricate embroidery of butterflies and bees. It set Daisy's red hair ablaze. 'Fire on water,' Elizabeth had declared with pleasure when her maid had first tried it on.” DressRedheadAquamarine Book:The Botanist's Daughter Source: The Botanist's Daughter
