Paper Dresses

I've been making more paper dresses ... and finding them a bit addictive ...

Another wedding dress made mainly with doilies ... this measures about 9" top to bottom ...

And a sundress which is about 6" from top to bottom ... made with crepe paper, tissue paper and patterned paper ...

The inspiration and basic bodice template (adapted) is from Kell Belle Studio.

Paper dresses

I made this a little while ago and liked how it turned out ... no stamping this time but a pretty 'wedding dress' that i may enter into a swap (there are 11 other dresses to make so we will see) ... but I really liked doing this.

The bodice is card covered with patterned paper and the skirt is 2 layers of crepe paper which I've gathered and glued at the waist with a 'lace' paper over skirt. The inspiration, bodice template and directions are here ... Kellie Reynolds is one very talented lady. I've tried to do a photograph of the bodice in more detail but it's not great ... a bit foreshortened .. the dress measures 9" from shoulder to hem.
