I LOVE this gown. I know that it looks completely allegorical except for a couple of things: None of the other objects look allegorical and then I found these as well:

Notice the sleeve of St. Catherine's dress and the neckline. I realize it's hard to see but the sleeve is a rounded tab type like the pretty gown of Salome. And just to further the point...

The dress has the same basic elements of Salome's.
I'm starting to wonder how allegorical this one is. I still want it as a Masque gown either way.
