Replicating that dress is the holy grail for many historical costumers.

It looks like that portrait could use a professional cleaning. Even dimmed like it is, it is still beautiful.

Sadly, she let the beautiful image of the young Sisi take over , & refused to be seen or photographed in later years. The few pics that folks did get( without her permission) show a beautiful woman.........but she could not see that in herself in later years.
