Evening Dress - Joan of Arc

This dress was inspired by Joan of Arc, the tragic heroin from the Middle Ages. Joan was a girl, a soldier, and a savior who played a major role during the Hundred Years War leading her troops (Bartlet, 1859). However, despite her patriotism and great achievements, she was captured and sold to the enemy, the English, for heresy and perjury, when she was only nineteen years old (Thurston, 1910)
