DRESS WITH FLARED SKIRT - The Coronation of the Virgin, 1324

Inspired by a celebrated 1324 Byzantine work, this dress with the flared-skirt merges historical artistry with contemporary wearability. The silhouette balances refined elegance with practical comfort, featuring a skirt that moves gracefully. Ideal for those who seek garments anchored in museum-quality aesthetics rather than fleeting trends—a piece that speaks to both cultural appreciation and discerning taste.

The original Byzantine era Masterpiece, "The Coronation of the Virgin," was painted in the year 1324 by an artist known as "Master of the Washington Coronation."  This Masterpiece presently is on view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
