Dress for May

My dress for May's Dress Challenge is inspired by a Maypole.  The dress itself is embossed watercolor paper rubbed with oil pastels. The waistband, collar and sleeves are grosgrain ribbon.

    this is an adoable Maypole dancer's dress - my daughter used to do maypole dancing when she was a Brownie.
    I love the embossed paper effect.

    Hi Jeanie, thanks for your kind comment on my blog, but I can't take credit for the rose on my dress-it's store-bought. (I wish I HAD made it tho....)

    Hi Aunt Jean!
    I love the dress!! Funny b/c I immediately thought of a maypole before I even read the description :)
    I think you should start selling cards with your little dresses on them!

    A wonderful interpretation of the maypole theme, and perfect for May!
    You could do lots and lots of twirling in that dress!

    I like your thinking with the maypole and you've captured it perfectly with your pretty dress. I also love your hanger!
