do you know the feeling total absorption in what you are creating?
this dress is the result of one of such moments, days, weeks..
a river of ideas, flowing through the whole month it took to complete it.
we made this dress for a contest using all the bits and scraps left over years of weaving.
we ran over them with the sewing machine and out came a wonderful new cloth, very similar to felt in feel and weight.
it is built on my body and coursets at the back with a black satin ribbon, the lining is watergreen shantung silk, cut on the bias.
we listed 2000 because it is not *really* for sale. However, if someone would be so willing, we might consider, lol!
The dress is made of very tiny scraps of cloth, woven by us, and then rewoven together using the sewing machine...it was then molded, pinned and again "rewoven" to form the dress...it was painstaking work, to say the least...
