Dress #030: Victorian dress in pink and turquoise flowers. 2015

Based on an American dress from the Wexler & Abraham [Wechsler & Abraham] department store in Brooklyn, ca. 1880-1885, and held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession 2009.300.654)

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.

Materials: Chiyogami, other Japanese paper, and cotton floss on cotton paper.
