Ayana's Finale Dress on Project Runway: Modest Jane Austen?

During the two-episode season finale of Project Runway Season 16, the camera kept showing teasing glimpses of a dress Ayana had made--it looked to be a pale green with embroidered "tarnished" gold embellishments, and I couldn't wait to see her runway show.

She did not disappoint, as her finale dress was as beautiful as I'd hoped.

I've loved that combination of green and gold for years, and Ayana's dress brought me back to a beloved Wyeth dress I bought in Palo Alto many years ago (documented here).


I've long thought of my Wyeth dress as a Jane-Austen-in-LA dress, and Ayana's beautiful garment is a welcome cousin: a modest Jane Austen?
