Just what I thought! How wonderful to have the photo as well - but
looking at the photo I would never have guessed the dress was bright
red.
I seem to remember that when we only had black and white TV I was more
used to recognising colours from their shading - watching snooker was
not as pointless as it sounds. I wonder if people were better at
understanding the colours in Victorian photos when colour printing was
less common?

definitely not drab and dark.
Beautiful!
