Grand Duchess Xenia in about 1914-5ish.

It looks like MAYBE  her granddaughter Princess Irene Yussupova as an Infant! :D

That was taken in Gatchina.

I hope we soon can see " royalties of the past" on-line.*fingers crossed*

Yesterday I saw this dress at the exhibition in St Petersbourg. Incredible. Only looking at MF's dresses one can imagine how TINY she was :)

Indeed this is MF's dress.
I know of a perfect picture where you can see her wearing it.
It's in Camera and the Tsars. I'll try and take a picture of it with my camera this afternoon, unless someone beats me too it.  :)

I saw 2 or 3 pics of MF in that dress :). One of them is really in CATT, I have a copy.

She looked good in that dress.  ;)

The dress itself still looks fantastic, I saw it at the exhibition. :)
