Around the 1800s, there grew an interest fairy tales and medieval knight stories. It was a bit of residue from the Romanticism period. This interest in those stories was a direct result of the Neoclassical movement. Those neoclassicals believed in science and logic, and slowly were moving towards atheism. Romanticism was a turn away from logic and reason.
They wanted to believe that there was more to life than what could be measured in a laboratory. And so, we have the interest in fairy tales. This dress is from one of the maidens in a sleeping beauty picture. It is an approximation of the dresses women wore during those days.
