A vintage handmade dress has been appliqued with my giant octopus design. The octopus is made of scissor print cotton fabric with black buttons for eyes and a machine stitched mouth. Before sewing it, the octopus was heat bonded to the dress for clean lines and extra durability. Machine wash inside out on cold, tumble dry low.
The dress is made of two different fabrics - a cotton jersey for the bottom half, and a plaid satiny (most likely a polyester but feels satiny) fabric on top. The dress has cuffed sleeves, an elastic waistband and buttons down the front bodice. It also comes with a sash belt made from the same black fabric as the skirt portion, but I forgot to photograph it. The red belt shown is not included.
This is approximately a smallish medium, but I have taken the following measurements for best fit:
chest- 38"
shoulder- 15"
waist- relaxed the waistband measures 26", but it will stretch comfortably to about 32"
hip- 41"
length from shoulder to waist- 17"
length from waist to hem- 25"
The top fabric does not stretch, but the bottom fabric does.
One of a kind! And monochrome.
