Source : Dr. Ingrid Mida "In the 1860s and 1870s, the colour green was highly fashionable. This distinctive green pigment – 'Scheele’s Green' – was achieved with the use of arsenic. It is a lustrous green – often equated to an emerald green. In August 2014 as I was unpacking a large donation of historic pieces from the Cleaver-Suddon Collection, I recognized the colour. I had learned about this toxic pigment from hearing Dr. Alison Matthews David talk about her research for her book Fashion Victims. Suspecting that this dress might contain arsenic, I tweeted her a photo on August 24, 2014 and we arranged to test it in the Ryerson University Physics Lab on September 5, 2014. Of course we were both thrilled to learn that the dress did in fact contain arsenic as I suspected and the dress became the subject of an article in The Ryersonian by Kathleen McGouran... This dress was originally purchased in 1967 for $15 at a vintage clothing sale by Alan Suddon for his private collection. The dress consists of three parts, a bodice, a skirt and an overskirt. Made of silk and decorated with braid and fringe, it was likely worn as late afternoon dress with a fichu or under-blouse to fill in the deep neckline. The bodice has a bust measurement of 32.5 inches and a waist measurement of 25 inches. The skirt has a slight train as was common during the period. This fashion plate from La Mode shows a similar dress." More on reddit.com

I think the first one might be Jessica McClintock. I had a very similar one in green velvet in the 80’s. More on reddit.com
