The Yellow Flower Dress

The Yellow Flower Dress is a floor-length gown in the yellow of the sun, with short puffed sleeves tied at the cuff and the skirt gathered low and full. It carries only the flowers I know from my own garden, chosen from far more than fit. The whole field is in bloom, and I am standing in it.

Technique: Fitted bodice, short tie-cuff puff sleeves, gathered drop-waist skirt; vintage floral embroideries applied across bodice and skirt
