Dress #032: Robe à la française in pale green flowers

The dress is made from chiyogami (Japanese paper), and is hand stitched on cold-pressed 100% cotton paper. The design is based on an English gown from the 1760s, held by the Victoria & Albert Museum (accession T.60-1934); the style is known as a robe à la française.

The dress is six inches tall, stitched by hand on 8x10 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall.
