Well not quite, but as close as we're likely to see. And from the right era, too! [url=]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1366616/Victorian-beetle-wing-dress-worn-Ellen-Terry-display-50k-repair-job.html
Can't seem to get the clicky link to work....

Oh, wow... I'd seen the Sargent painting of Ms Terry wearing this dress... and the Disney character based on the painting, incidentally... but to see the real thing - that's rather marvellous. So, who'd like to see a Glimscale Gown in game, for the low price of a handful of Marks of Credit?

Aaaaah what I would give to wear a dress like that....
Its beautiful in ways I can't even describe
speaking of finding FL items in RL I inadvertently bought a set of moon pearls! I'll try and get a picture up later if I can

Oh my goodness, that's gorgeous.
Historical note: Beetle wing-case dresses were a thing from the 1780s to the 1930s, though they certainly weren't usually as glimmerful as that one.

That would fetch chestfuls of Map Scraps. Seriously though, it might be a good idea to make more clothing using insect skin/shells IRL. They're relatively easier to raise than leather producing animals.

I'm impressed that they were able to recover some of those wings!
