Time Traveler Dress
This was my favorite dress from the 2011 Fashion Show. I loved designing it, making it, wearing it, and seeing it on my model in the show. The fabric for the dress was a marbly olive and black semi-sheer knit which my daughter said was hideous -- until she saw the finished dress. Then she loved it and marveled that it turned out so great! The vest is made from several different heavy decorator cottons and trimmed with black. Nine different antique gold buttons march down the center of the vest. In showing it off for today's dress, I played with it in Picnik using the Ortonish style. It gives the photo a real steampunk time travel look!
