Dress #325 Sunrays

As the days are getting shorter, I thought some rays of sunshine would brighten up the dresses. However, I'm not sure whether this might look a bit more sci-fi? Pieces of a sequin trim and cotton lamé fabric.

Dress #298 Thanksgiving Day Dance

Autumm colors and ruffles for the Thanksgiving Day Dance at the country club. At the Impressionism and Fashion exhibit, there was a dress with layered ruffles of lace and satin. This is my interpretation of that---and the fact that I didn't have enough of the diamond patterned ribbon. Ribbon, paper, and yarn from Eileen!

Dress #283 Experimental Influence

I love the fabric and I felt like trying something new today. However, the fabric was not printed on the true grain, and it made it difficult to use. Fabric and a couple of scrapbooking brads.

Dress #278 Pumpkin

Another Halloween-ish party dress. This was inspired by a young lady working at the fabric counter in Joann's years ago! She'd made her pumpkin costume with an orange skirt and a green bustier. She looked adorable. This one is silk, some ribbon, and a touch of paint.

Dress #274 Treat!

Another Halloween dress---a different skirt, a bit of color blocking. Paper, fabric and ribbon.

Dress #271 Miss Muffett

Another Halloween motif, this one is from an old paper napkin. I was never much of a Halloween fan until Martha Stewart started making it fun. Then Mick and Deb had pumpkin carving parties, and then we started having a block party with our neighbors while we are handing out candy. Now I like the holiday. I'll miss that this year!

Dress #205 Folds

While not true origami, this dress is mostly just folded from a summery motif paper napkin. 

Dress #151 One Shoulder Sundress

Love this print. Love this style. I think it looks so cool and yet sophisticated. Fabric and 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 #140 Orange Straws

Another sundress! Delightful for this idyllic weather we are having here in Baltimore. It almost looks like seersucker, but is, obviously, made of plastic straws.

Dress #112 Polka Dot Cheese

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

Dress #63 Orange Sundress

I found some orange fabric in the stash. So instead of carrots, we have an orange sundress. Simple, in a lovely color---at least for those who like orange.

Dress #58 24 Carrot Orange

Orange is so "in" this year. I personally love most shades of orange---one of the first dresses I remember wearing had an orange sash. There is plenty of orange yarn in my stash, but not too much orange fabric. The refrigerator, however, yielded orange raw materials.
