Leaves print means lots 又是植物語

If a slip dress like this sold in a shop is nothing special or even customers may find the prints not impressive.. But.... to me, it means so much. 
若果這一件裙子掛在店內, 毫不顯眼, 祗是普通甚或陳舊 look. 於我而言, 這裙子是我的代理作, 因為葉子是在葡萄牙農莊採摘及實驗示範的絲質料, 我把四片裁縫成一件裙子. 配上 nuno felt 小背心, 一套輕柔夏日裝 .
 Mogi, "oh yeah, it's mum's signature dress". 
The dress is made with four pieces of these leaves prints I done in Portugal recently.  I know each piece of leaf where I got and how I printed.
The leaves of euc,  rose,  oak,  chestnut......
The different euc leaves from a friend's house and the tie lines made with nylon strings....  All these made the dress prints.
The dress does mean something for me - a keepsake of the holiday.
The dress is what I say subtle and natural.
I made the nuno felt vest to make it a set. 
How it go with my girl?

A casual wear on the beach


This means a lot to me - a dress of holiday.

    It's charming, and a much better memento of a holiday than postcards or ornaments!

      Thanks Heather. When I was making the dress the prints reminded me the time we're in the olive grove when the car "stuck". The prints of the "Anne's Lace" (can't remember well the flowers) were not bold. Still a good memory with all of us.

      Thank you Caroline. The vest part of it is rust dyed. I find it's Eco friendly color too.
