It reminded me of this dancer from 1898:
This woman performs a dance inspired by George du Maurier's character Trilby, in an early modern dance style reminiscent of [easyazon_link identifier="0871403188" locale="US" tag="dailyartdaily-20"]Isadora Duncan[/easyazon_link]. She dances barefoot without stockings and is dressed in a long, flowing gown bound across the bosom in Grecian style, with inside fringe and a draped cape hooked to her wrist. She also wears what appears to be a garland headpiece. Holding her gown with one hand throughout, the dancer performs a series of kicks and turns with leg kicks front and back, rocking, and round de jambe. Well, times may change but the way that people dance don't :)
