Pinup #034: Pinup dress in golden fish on bright blue PMA the Met holds a PetalThis darling little pinup dress is made from Tibetan lokta paper in a golden fish pattern on a bright blue background; it is hand stitched in cotton floss onto cold pressed 100% cotton paper. The dress features a gathered, crossover bust, creating a sweetheart neckline; hand embroidered lines imitate the folds of the skirt. The dress is six inches tall, stitched by hand on 8x10 inch paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame
