Dress #364 Bottle Green

The skirt for today's dress is from a water bottle I found on the street in Paris. I think the brand is from Croatia. Lovely bottle. The bodice is a recycled Sprite bottle. Lining is tissue paper, and some gold for the belt.

Dress #219 Sunrise

As we fly off to start another new chapter in our lives, I thought that Monet's Impression Sunrise would make fitting fabric for the dress. Made from a shopping bag from the small and lovely Musee Marmottan where the painting lives.

Dress #211 Plastic Wrap

I don't recall why I have deep pink plastic wrap in the kitchen, but it looks better as a dress than it does covering the guacamole. Reynolds plastic wrap with some scrapbooking rhinestones.

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 #110 Green Grass Blue Sky

What a beautiful spring we've had here in the Mid-Atlantic region! The sky is so blue, and the grass is so green. I love Mother Nature's color combination.

Dress #42 Barbie

Today is Barbie's 53rd birthday, and although I never had a Barbie doll (or wanted one for that matter) I used today to commemorate one of the Barbie advertising slogans: "Without you, I'm just plastic." Today's dress is bubble wrap fabric, ironed until it pops, cooled and cut. I think perhaps the clear bubble wrap fabric has additional potential for mother-of-pearl buttons. Looks like Barbie is going to Hawaii for her birthday!
