SWOOSH!

SO GOES THE SOUND OF A SWATH OF A SKIRT MADE OF YARDS AND YARDS OF TAFFETA, SATIN OR TULLE...

                                    ...LIKE THIS ONE IN THE LOVLIEST OF LILACS!

 I've always been intrigued by how paper dolls, sketches or embroidered ladies were brought to life by someone lovingly adding layers and layers of frippery using the technique of Ribbon Art.  This piece from RedRoverOk, framed and mounted on a black background for a dramatic pop of color, is such a wonderful example of how the use of satin ribbons, lace, hand tatted flowers and other miniature details can create stunning couture for just such a lassie.   Even the hems of pillowcases or hankies were made more beautiful by this kind of work!  You can almost hear the swoosh of this ladies skirt rustling in the wind...just like in our "Glamour Girl" inspiration photo!
