AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH THESE ARE AMAZING! But you know my feelings on the matter!
I had horrendous issues a month or so ago so deleted all viewers except Phoenix (as someone said that's what you had to do) - but I'm glad to hear other people have additional viewers!!
I can't make head nor tail of viewer 2. It totally confuses and distresses me. Right now I'm on Phoenix - I like that it's viewer 1-based but has some extra features I find super-useful. I tried Firestorm but had issues with that (le sigh) and didn't know how to use it properly (le grander sigh).
I'm probably going to download Viewer 1 again now, just as a back-up.
Here is a rather fabulous costume sketch from it, of the look your dresses reminded me of - especially the black one!! x
I was recently in Paris for work, but unfortunately JUST missed the opening of this fabulous new exhibition (which I am hoping to catch when I return in October).
The exhibition looks at fifty pieces from modern fashion designers who have been inspired by the eighteenth century - including well-known fans like John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood, and less obvious choices such as Nicolas Ghesquire of Balenciaga and Azzedine Alaa.
The exhibition is based in the Grand Trianon, and contrasts these inspired garments with actual eighteenth-century pieces to illustrate the often direct insipriation designer have taken (Westwood, for one, prides herself on extensive study of original eighteenth century garments which have lead to her questioning both the way modern dress is constructed and the very ideas behind it).

If you love frocks, frock-coats and frills as much as I do, it's a must!
