Pussy Willow Dress
You guessed it. Another flower my friend was throwing away was several stems of pussy willow, one of my favorite childhood plants. The fuzzy buds were surprisingly difficult to get to stay together long enough for me to take the picture. But the resulting dress turned out very well. Even in winter this dress would keep me warm, especially since the shoulders are covered with the fun cap sleeves. I like the luxe feel to the dress and can imagine it done up in a charcoal grey marbleized velvet. So pretty! This knee-length frock could be worn for officewear, then with the addition of some jewelry and a fur stole, make the transfer to evening without trouble. Hmmm. I think I need one for my closet! *grin*
