Outfit Post: A One Hundred Year Old Dress

Our lookbook shoot went really well yesterday and I can't wait to see the finished photos.  I am pretty tired though and now I have piles of shoes, purses and clothes all over my living room!
I changed my profile picture a few days ago because I loved how this photo of me turned out.  It's still odd to me to post all these pictures of myself, but you know what, my job isn't exactly run of the mill, so as long as you like the outfit posts, I'll keep doing them.
I bought this edwardian dress at the flea market a few months ago while it was still dark in the morning (yes, I go that early) and when I got home, I realized that it had some small holes in it and discoloration.  I also remembered that I don't really sell clothes that are this old.  Sometimes I just get so enamored with things that I lose all rational.  So I decided to experiment and see if this dress was something I could wear in a modern way.  The bodice was too big and I wasn't going to alter it, so I took a vintage brooch that was given to me by my mother-in law, folded it over and pinned it.  What do you think?  If you saw me wearing this on the street, would you tell your friends that you saw a weird lady wearing a hundred year old dress?
