Juggling life, liberty and happiness

Since the French pictures were such a big hit last night, I went looking on Base Joconde to see if I could find any more pictures showing sheer sleeves. (I finally get to use all those years of college French! Ah!) I wasn't able to find anymore, but I did find other fun things.

I've posted two links for each picture. The first one is to the full record for each picture. As this one can take a while to load, I've also posted the direct link to the picture.

If you post these links in your journal, please give credit where credit is due.

OK, this one doesn't have sheer sleeves, but check out that wonderful lace collar and the black and white stripes on the dress.

This is still my favorite French dress evar! Has white, opaque sleeves.
