Dear Weddings (Dresses 196-205)

Dear Weddings (Day 160),
You make people all excited and festive and optimistic. I like that, even if I find the institution a little sillygoose... Most of today’s dresses inspired by the woman on my tram who was all dolled up to go to a spring day wedding.

Dress I: Wedding Dress: silk dress with painted silk feathers)













Dress II: Bridesmaid’s Dress: comfortable cotton with a silk overlay, painted on the stomach region, petals and the central section of the flower then cut out of the dress and arranged as a corsage/hair ornament.












Dress III: Flower Girl Dress: a photographic print of petals being thrown in the air, with some already falling and a border of petals.












Dress IV: To wear to a wedding in winter: silk ‘paragliding’ sail as headband/hood with silver chain and silver bird on a black matte silk dress.












Dress V: To wear to a wedding in Autumn: Tiny panels of grey slate over a lighter grey dress with architectural grey ‘gutter’ (lace)












Dress VI: To wear to a wedding in Winter: Woolen dress with 2D scarf












Dress VII: fringing over mesh on the neck, waist and hem.












Dress VIII: Indian fabric under an elastic corset.













Dress IX: To wear to a wedding in Spring: black ribbon outline hand-painted filling on matte silk.












Dress X: perforated ‘stamp’ hem with ‘wing’ collar and buttons to below the waist.












All my love,
Ip.
