Dresses of Empress Elisabeth

Either silk or satin...

Either silk or satin...

The replica, yes, seems to be made with a silky cloth like any of these. If I am not wrong, the real one (last dress) was, in fact,  made with black taffeta.

Taffeta is shiny like silk too.

Found this dress in a facebook German site about Empress Sissi (if I'm not wrong a few photos of this or a similar dress were posted time ago, only that the gown wasn't completely photographed). According to the site, the dress was going to be auctioned a year ago (October 18th, 2012), the start prize was  € 7,500... I wonder what prize it finally reached. Anyways, it is much cheaper than the Czech blue velvet dress mentioned on the previous posts!

Lucky whoever got that dress! It is beautiful.

She was pencil thin as the dress showed...

[Jen_94]

Indeed. Very thin...

I think she wore a grey dress to Valerie's wedding.

Finally, after looking for a very long time, I got to see the full skirt of Empress Sissi's well known black taffeta dress that she wore the day when she was murdered by Luigi Lucheni.
