Farmhouse Prairie Dresses - Gorgeous

I have some lacy tablecloths and curtains packed away.

Aren't these dresses beautiful?

I would love to put something together like these

Ralph Lauren haute couture dresses.

Victorian Edwardian Dress Aceo Painting

I've painted a few victorian and edwardian clothed ladies on aceos. The soft colors with roses and lace have me wanting to plant as many old-fashioned roses as I can this spring. The lawn dresses these ladies wore were delicate and had yards and yards of lace on the cotton. The bodice, the sleeves and the skirt. How did they not tear it when walking through gardens? You definitely had to be a lady and not race your male friend through the rose paths.

I've got some soft, soft white cotton about 5 yards. Now to assemble enough vintage or vintage looking laces to sew up my own. I can't wait.

Original Watercolor Aceo painting is for sale here.

Recycle Wearable Art Clothes

Recycle those denim jeans into wearable art sculpture. All credit goes to Gary Harvey for this creation. He used 41, yes 41 pairs of jeans to create this gown. I love how he used darker shades for each tier of the ruffled gown. This is the first "denim gown" I have ever seen. You would never be at a loss for pocket room.
