Yay, it's answered. Good job Brian. MK, you have to read your sources more carefully! 
And I promise, the next one will be a (as I like to call them) "Sage Stumper". You have been warned.

Will it stump only the Sage or the rest of us? 
I have one I am afraid to ask myself, given that the last one took half a week to get answered, and I thought it was an easy one |

Okay, hint time:
Hint 1: The gowns were discovered in 1346, along with a chest of large emeralds, four spellbooks, and several minor magical items. |

You guys are mean.
Oh... and BTW... the answer is the Lady Rhyndaera Dawninghunt.

If that is correct, give me time to come up with a hard one. |

Is that really an 'honor'?
Anyhow, a bit off-the-beaten path, so I hope it at least stumps a couple of the scholars here -

Oh and, congrats Wooly, for Candlekeep's first Viagra reference.
It's actually been mentioned here before, and not by me. So there! |

A hint that's not such a great hint -
This piece of Realmslore appeared in a core product (and yet the lore is most definately about the Realms). |

There are some older, 1E products that were also given the generic imprint, but which had Realms content. |
