Paper Dress

Dressmaking, design and dresses .... an irresistible combination .... and thanks to Sherry, a very talented lady, the current challenge for Art 'n' Soul: Design-A-Dress. Sherry provided a template for the dress and the rest has been left to our imagination ... what fun!
The dress should measure between 5 to 6 inches high and 4 inches wide. The style, techniques and materials used were whatever we liked

Supplies:
paper - Prima
ribbon/lace/metal thread/glas beads - from my stash
blings - Kanban
image - Antique Images

I decided to give the dress a front and a back ... don't laugh I don't know how you wear your dresses but mine all have front and back (LOL) .... and it all came sort of together when I saw the Prima paper. I instantly loved the style, colours and pattern ... all I had to do was to find matching ribbon and lace and some embellishments.
After the initial decorating the front still looked still a bit plain and flat so I printed and cut a red rose image from Antique Images and placed the open flower on the front and the rosebud on the back of the dress.
The hanger is a firstfor me as I have not really worked with metal yet. But it was great fun to twist and twirl it together with the glas beads to give it the look of a coat hanger.

This project was great fun, maybe you also want to give it a go? If you are up for a dressmaking challenge have a look at Alice and Camilla's blog! I absolutely loved this project, thank you so much, Sherry! and I am looking forward to the next one, Petra.

NB Have I already told you? I can hardly believe it ... I have been awarded my third Ginger Gems honourable batch for the Teabag Booklet ... I feel so honoured and very proud!
