Paper People's Romantic Tie Dress



This dress is really one of my favourite pieces. It's romantic and feminine - I just couldn't resist sprinkling a few rose petals! This one is made from bamboo/organic cotton and soy jersey. I hand dyed them in burgundy, purple (shown) and green. You can see all sorts of colour depths and variation in them, each one is unique! The tie/belt is the best part, you really have to see it up close. I took a strip of jersey, a strip of recycled silk and a delicate cotton trim to make it. At the moment I only have black, but the coloured versions will be appearing as soon as Feb 26th.
