Every so often there is a dress that is exquisitely designed and made.

Yes! In the 1980's Yves Saint Laurent did a series of clothes that were inspired by Monet's paintings. The pieces were embroidered and beaded by hand by the house of Lesage which specializes in that kind of work. I can't find images on the web that do the designs justice (I recall seeing them in magazines at the time), but I found an image of two of the jackets.

Here is a better image of the jacket on the left in the above photo. Beautiful work!

Beautiful! I love Monet. The MFA in Boston has a number of his paintings. Gorgeous.
