Dreaming in Color with Obama Dramatic Party Dress From Totally Recycled Fiber

Description

thanks so much for checking out the amazing and inspiring recycled creations from www.lovepeaceanddye.com
this one of a kind recycled party dress was inspired and created to include in the Feb 19th edition of Thursday Sweet Treat! Thanks for such an inspiring blog! http://www.thursdaysweettreat.blogspot.com/

The theme for this treat session is "Dreaming in Color". I tend to interpret things politically in this crazy world, and i still am shocked by the amazing creation that seemed to flow out of me.

"color me stunned and dazzled
by all the red white and blue flashing lights
in the american intersection
where black crashed head on with white
comes a melody
comes a rhythm
a particular resonance
that is us and only us" ani difranco Grand Canyon

This is a fully recycled party dress constructed from white and black recycled knit tshirt material, navy blue light weight recycled bed linens, and a Sears size medium white slip. i hand cut the obama stencil and transfered it onto this top with black sharpie, which lasts forever on tshirts, any punk rocker will tell you :) The top blue sash wraps and ties in the front of this amazing dress. There is a second tie in the middle of the back to create this sexy look. the skirt part is made from a size medium elastic slip and the blue is ruffled and layered on top.
This dress is a great adjustable size 0 to Medium. The top has a bust that extends to 36 inches comfortably. the dress waist is elastic and measures 30 inches relaxed and 40 inches stretched. The waist line is 14 inches from the top of the dress measured from below the arm. this dress has an Aline bottom and flairs immediately from the waist. The skirt is 30 inches long measured from the waist
All Seams have been professionally sewn for years of wear

This item is NO IRON and line dry only! The blue material was purchased as egyptian cotton, but melts when heated so, best to not iron or use a dryer :)
