Sewn from square sheets of clear and matte blue plastic, this historically accurate gown has a corset to match (made from 225 mustard packets, with grommets and lacing on both sides). The garment is a women's size 5. Skirt is multi-layered with matte and clear blue plastic. Matching bows on blouse sleeves and front; ruffled details on collar and sleeves.

But I'll bet it would be HOT to wear. :) Another exquisite piece---truly twisted in just the right way!

Artist Reply: Thanks Charles :) Yes, the gown is quite stuffy (but I suppose if one wanted to shed some pounds, this would be the way to do it, no?) I have plans for some more pieces like this...it was definitely worth the wait. I also love the surrealness (is that a word?) of your drawings. Myself? I never "doodle" on paper, though I probably should, and so I've never found the freedom that your works seem to express. Thanks so much for the inspiration! --Jamie
