illustrations

I was looking through a book of illustrations. Each page held something unique and amazing. I studied the figures and their clothing, particularly intrigued by a figure of a young woman climbing stairs, wearing a long, full-skirted dress with a laced up back, ribbons criss-crossing all the way from the rear neck-line right down to the bottom of the skirt. I dropped the book and lost my place. I tried to find it again, searching for the page featuring the girl wearing such a fantastic dress, but I woke up.
