Dress It Up


I am going to give this challenge a go, though I may have a slightly different interpretation of the theme than Angela perhaps intended!  But, that is the fun of challenges, you have an idea of what you want to do and then you look at the completed piece and wonder what the heck happened because it sure as heck doesn't seem to look how it should! ;) I also figure that there is no hardship in playing once a month so unlike my Journal Your Christmas, I shouldn't start out nearly two thirds of it behind!!
So here she is... not looking very Impressionist in style... but perhaps I will get the hang of it before next month!!
and this is the back view... I have to admit that I am not really a sewer so my versions will be more chipboard and paper and glue than material!

    I'm so glad this is a big hit because I love it. And you know I think it looks very OOH-LA-LA, anyway. Really love the bottom lace, too. Very detailed and the back is as lovely as the front.

    Very cute dress Annette. When I first read the challenge, I thought it meant making a full adult dress! I've got one started already! LOL. TFS. ~Glen~

    This is the first time that I tried out this challenge as well. I think your dress is inspired by the Impressionists; it has a lovely romantic air to it that always comes to mind when I think of Impressionist painters. Love this!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
