I am thoroughly impressed by Ms. Borghgrave! Aren’t you glad our little corner of the universe is filled with many talented people?! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a beautiful day!
p.s. I do wonder, though, what wearing a paper-outfit would feel.

Amazing….thanks so much for sharing and for the link….in total awe!!
WOW… These are gorgeous! I wish I could see them in person — the article mentions “oversize mannequins” displaying the paper gowns, but doesn’t reference the size of any of the pieces. Thanks for sharing this!
That is SO incredibly beautiful! What talent!
what a dress! back in the day, maybe mid to late sixties, paper dresses where a fad … not so elaborate as this, though. wear ’em once or twice and toss them! they crinkled, rather than rustled, and creased easily. if i remember right, there were a-lines, and chemise-types [waistless] among the styles. they hit just below the knees; you could cut them for the length. fun for awhile!
I saw the entire show at the museum in SF…the lace and frills are amazing.
Wow, that is gorgeous. I can’t imagine wearing paper dresses, either — seems they’d tear easily and might be a problem when they get wet, besides feeling uncomfortable against the skin. But they are pretty as a means of art.
It’s absolutely gorgeous! Definitely would not want to weat it.
Oh my…that is one amazing paper dress for sure!
OMGosh!!! That is amazing. Yes, we are blessed to have so much talent and eye candy.
