Dress Challenge - September Dress

Here in Georgia, September is definitely not the start of Fall weather!  My dress for September for Alice and Camilla's Dress Challenge is simple and 60's, and still very summery-looking.  My Mom had a dress very much like this.  The reason I remember it so well is that she wore it during a vacation trip to Chicago and it appears in many photographs.  She made it herself, as she did all of her clothes, and mine as well.

I painted the paper with dabs of watercolor and after it dried, wadded it up in a ball.  I then unfolded it carefully and glued it to the dress form, using a brayer to add the crinkly details.  I then used a thin marker to highlight the flower shapes.  The boat neck was a very popular style in the 60's.
