This piece was born from a feeling. I wanted to capture that delicate freshness of a spring morning, where dew coats fresh grass and the sunshine seems to actually sparkle. It is such a precious and fleeting feeling that I wanted to immortalize in this gently layered dress, paying homage to the newness of spring.
The base is made from a light cotton broadcloth and layered with various types of silk organza. The ties are made in a matching broadcloth and it is finished in matching bias tape. The flower embellishments are beads from a vintage 1950s necklace that I wore for many years until it broke, so it now has a new life on this dress. The waist is adjustable so that it can fit various sizes.
