I think the colors are just off due to the flash. The trims behind it are black to the left and a lovely goldenish cream to the right. In the photo, it looks white. :-/

The real colors are about two shades darker than the photo (as I'm holding it up and comparing it to my baby laptop screen...). Based on everyone's suggestions, though, I'm thinking either using it for a storybook (ie fantastical) outfit or Victorian.
