Nature Dress
Vivian's request for a moss dress gave me the idea for this one. I don't have moss around here, but a friend does, so eventually I'll have a moss dress. But until then, this dress made from all natural ingredients will do. Mounted on 12 x 12" paper, this dress celebrates the beauty of fall. The lovely grass skirt is from the grasses that grow in my front garden. The leaves for the bodice and sleeves were pressed by my daughter years ago and forgotten in her press until now. I'm happy to see that they still retain most of their color. I love the long full sleeves gathered at the wrist. This is my favorite sleeve and one I use often when making clothes for cooler weather. This dress would be so much fun to wear and would really flatter my figure and coloring. Maybe someday . . .
