Do you remember this dress? I really like it and made also a top.
Vous vous rappelez de cette robe? Je l’aime beaucoup et j’ai donc aussi fait un top.

This new dress is special to me. I loved making the printings on its back and inner bottom. It was the first time I used the linocut technique and for sure not the last. In order to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, I would like to thank the talented Lisa Gachet from Make my lemonade because she had made a similar dress a while ago. Even if I drew my own babydoll dress pattern, I was inspired by her stunning blue version with white lips.
This time I also made a short video – also a first attempt – to show the dress in motion. You can hear “Cover me” (Dillinja Mix) by Björk.
Here is the carved linoleum and the butterfly figure I used to print by hand the dress.
A nocturnal butterfly wandering under the moon was the imagery behind this outfit.
It’s also the first pattern that I made.
I sewed by hand the appliqués.
I “treated” the silk organza appliqués in order to obtain this organic texture.
There’s a fun 3D effect.
I like the raw/delicate aspect of the organza layers.
