Dress for November

Can't believe there's just one more dress until this challenge ends!  This has been so much fun!  Thank you, Alice and Camilla , for hosting this unforgettable challenge.  Is there anyone out there thinking of hosting the challenge for 2011?

Well, here's my dress for November.
I'm still obsessed with leaves!  I wanted to design a festive ball gown so I started with brown paper painted with acrylic paint.  I added the gorgeous paper leaves and did not feel that this dress required any further embellishment!

Here is my dress closet.

The box to the right is to hold hats, gloves, etc.  And there's a little necklace form to hold necklaces that I will (hopefully) have time to make eventually.

  2. Your dresses look great all together in their wardrobe.

    I love your November dress, it looks perfect as it is - look at that fabulous pinched in waistline, just like mine (well, in my dreams anyway lol).

    PS I think a few ladies have volunteered to host the event next year (including me), but I haven't heard anything "official" from Margaret yet.

  8. A beautiful dress Jeanie, it would rustle when you walked in it just like the sound of walking through fallen leaves!!
    I read in the comments on either Nov's or Oct's Dress comments on Margaret's blog that someone was going to do it through a yahoo forum I think.
