AWESOME!  This is the actual costume that Ellen Terry wore?  I've seen it in poster format and her costume for Macbeth is one that I always wanted to try my hand at creating.  Restoration of this gown is beautifully done and green colors vibrant!

For anyone interested, if you do a search for "Ellen Terry Macbeth costume" you can find lots of images of the original costume and its restoration process.
