The Unicorn Defends Himself Romantics Dress

Amble through fields of wildflowers down a well-trod dirt path, meeting friends old and new at the Rose & Crown inn, squeaks of wet wellies against worn stone floors as a cheer and clink of glasses echoes past the crackle of the roaring fireplace. This dress is a fantasy in fabric, with voluminous long sleeves, drawstrings at the front for a bustling effect, and a gorgeous fit. Like the Day Dress, this is a comfortable showstopper.

Make your escape like the mystical unicorn, no one can damper your dreams, no one can hold you back from your destiny. "The Unicorn Defends Himself" is one of seven tapestries in the "Unicorn Tapestries" group, available to view at the MET cloisters. These allegorical tapestries depict the hunting of a unicorn, a mythological animal common to European folklore. In "The Unicorn Defends Himself," the hunters have closed in on the unicorn. Unicorns were believed to be ferocious animals, nearly impossible to capture. This unicorn has attacked one of the hunters’ greyhounds, and is poised to make its escape.
