Beyond the Glass Slipper

... is the glass dress. Thanks to Beth for the link!

This is called "Evening Dress with Shawl", and is by the artist Karen LaMonte, and is at the Corning Museum of Glass (click image above to virtually visit) which has this to say about her:

Her subject is the dress, which is always life-size, whether it is for an infant, a young girl, or a woman. She explores a variety of styles of clothing in her work, from stiff and frilly Victorian dresses to idealized classical drapery. Her fashion choices reflect changing notions of beauty, how women view themselves, and how they have been viewed by others.

More images of LaMonte's work are here.

The conceit of making transparent glass sculptures of garments that are supposed to be opaque really appeals to me ... the dresses are gorgeous and the molding process she uses, combined with the glass, serves to make the absent bodies that wore them somehow more present (if that makes any sense).
