I like to imagine the Trevelyan family having a portrait of a young Florence before she was sent to the Templar Order, and proudly showing it to every visitor they have in Ostwick, haha. And Dorian loves teasing her about it, because he's the only one who saw it with his own two eyes.
I really wanted to paint Florence sooner as a noble lady, but my work schedule keeps changing and my holiday leave keeps getting shorter...
Anyway, her dress was inspired by my own culture, and what the hungarian noble ladies used to wear in the 18th century!
When it comes to Florence I don't know why but I really love to get inspiration from hungarian motives and dresses.
