Dress #359 Constellations

I've had this idea in my mind since long before I embarked on this project. I really like the idea, and might use it on other projects as well.

Dress #358 Copper Jersey

I found this copper lame jersey in the remnant bin today. I like the wrap skirt with the ruffle, but it wraps a bit too far to the side. I guess she's lost weight walking around the fabric stores.

Dress #357 Brown Stripes

So this is a dress that I love, but I don't know what kind of a dress it is! Too dressy for most work occasions, not really dressy enough for a party, perhaps for a nice dinner out? A silk tie remnant, some silk and organza scraps.

Dress #356 Staying Warm

Still cold here in Paris, and everyone is layering wool over wool. A marvelous red pinstripe jumper layered over one of my dad's old knit ties.

Dress #355 After Dior

There was the most beautiful dress in Bon Marche---maybe in all of Paris. This homage doesn't do it justice, although I like this one, too. The sparkles in the beading don't show up very well in the photo. Satin and beads.

Dress #354 Icy Blue
