I loved making this gown and loved that it was a bit larger. So often my sizes are influenced by the dress form (Esperanza is an XS-S) that is easiest or prettiest to design on. This time I used my larger form Beatrice which is more of a S-M.
The pictures were a bit tough to take as the dress had a very slight sheen to the cotton, sort of like a chintz fabric has. It made the pictures flare a lot. This is one of my favorite gowns due to the serendipity factor with the dreadlocks. Looking at the pictures reminds me of the mountains where I lived when this dress was created. Very different fall there than here in south Florida :)
