Classy Portraits

What ever happened to taking nice elegant photos?

I found this in my archives from like 4 years ago. I don't remember anyone else ever dressing up in an elegant gown or dress after besides this shoot. I don't even think most people own a dress like this, or have an event to attend that requires them to own one, which is a shame.

I took this photos at the subjects home. A beautiful loft with lots of light coming in and a private mini dance studio.  As you can see in the back there is a barre behind her. I think only dancers have the good enough posture to carry a dress like this and look like royalty.
