Description For 's contest, to design a dress inspired by a pumpkin.

I chose to do a ballgown, probably silk duiponi because I love the texture and body, with netting and grosgrain ribbon detailing. The skirt is caught up in three (hopefully) pumpkin-esque puffs with gathers. It's a little hard to see the details, and the color is all wonky from the scanner, but the shape is really the focus of this piece.


Happy Fall!

I never knew a pumpkin could look so graceful.

But it does, here.

thanks so much!

I'm so glad it translated well, I wasn't sure . . . You know, "hmm . . . pumpkin inspiration . . . Oooh! Ball gown!" is a bit on the random side.

But thanks again for the nice comment, makes me smile
