Asian Silk Sheath




















This dress took form after I had housed the fabric (some sort of Asian woven, shifty, fray-crazy, silk afghan found at the Salvation Army in the bedding department) for well over a year, trying to decide what to do with it.
I didn't use a pattern at all, and just cut out the pieces according to the varying print of the fabric:
It is actually a detailed scene, with a great tree and animals on the front and floral scrolls on the back. I used the border of the scene for the bodice and hem.

Another dress I have yet to actually wear anywhere. (Maybe I need to go out more?)
