Dress #261 Dessert Day

I read that today is National Dessert Day. Luckily, I carefully carried this small ice cream cone home from Ikea yesterday. The cone and a piece of white chocolate make the dress along with a belt of ambrosia. What? You don't know what ambrosia is? To me, it is creme de marrons or chestnut cream/jam.

Dress #246 Daily Bread

This is made from the remains of two different loaves of bread. I thought the pattern they made was quite nice. Day old bread from Eric Kayser, and a piece of ribbon.

Dress #191 Too Sweet

This dress is too, too sweet. Made of sugar sheets from the cake decorating department, in pink and with flowers? Way too sweet. Makes my teeth hurt.

Dress #177 Tri-Color Peppers

Just a quick and colorful pepper dress---probably the most expensive dress so far! I think we'll have this dress for dinner.

Dress #172 LBD

Every woman needs at least one little black dress, in this case, it is a licorice black dress. The ribbon belt looks a bit like a licorice candy---I think it is called Good and Plenty. Candy and ribbon.

Dress #162 Dulcinea

A cantaloupe from Trader Joe's, and a sharp knife make today's dress. A spot of ribbon, and we are ready to go. The cantaloupe is delicious, too.

Dress #155 Spinach

This looks so refreshingly cool---on a very hot day. Spinach with lemon and tomato trim.

Dress #154 Necco Wafers

In New England, there is the New England Candy and Confectionary Company. Guess what? They make Necco wafers. I've used them to make a dress although I thought they were only good for the roofs on gingerbread houses. 

Dress #152 Pink Lady

Inspired by my friend Kim and a post on her 365 day project, I thought about making a dress with apples. This involved a Granny Smith and a Pink Lady. And a piece of inedible ribbon.

Dress #146 Kimchi Ribbon

I'm a fan of the Korean pickled cabbage called kimchi. I saw this in the fridge, and knew I had a complimentary ribbon. Not your everyday dress....

Dress #141 Bonbel

The wax coating on the Bonbel cheese is so tactile! I carved a small dress into the coating of one of the mini cheeses. Next time I'll use one of the large ones!

Dress #128 Guacamole Gown

It's green, it's flowy, it has a "red ribbon" sash. Guacamole with salsa for today.

Dress #121 Shrimp Cocktail

A few shrimp, a bit of cocktail sauce, and a squeeze of lemon. Everyone likes shrimp cocktail!

Dress #112 Polka Dot Cheese

Jarlsberg and cheddar make the fabric on this, hopefully, not-too-cheesy dress.

Dress #109 This is Nuts

Pecans with a cashew midriff. A delicious looking dress, don't you think?

Dress #94 Cabbage Patch

There's something about bubble skirts that I just love. And cabbage lends itself to that purpose nicely.

Dress #91 Purple Pasta

Did you know that if you put food coloring in the pasta water, you get colored pasta? What fun! If only I had some five-year-olds to feed. I love this purple pasta dress---good for dancing, don't you think?

Dress #80 Leeky Loulou

Ok. So this one is more of a doll than a dress, but how could I resist the hair? Doesn't she look ready to tango? LOL, OK, maybe not.

Ooops! I created this on April 16, 2012 but forgot to hit "Publish"

Dress #69 Beaded D3

Oh, isn't this gorgeous? I've always thought that some of my daily vitamins look like little jewels, and today Vitamin D3 formed into a little dress.

Dress #64 Bacon and Eggs

One morning this week, I noticed that my omelet had a nice ruffled edge. Of course, this led me to today's dress. Looks good enough to eat---and it was!
