I have finally completed my "January Dress" for the monthly dress-up challenge offered by Margaret of Alice and Camilla blog. January is cold and snowy here in Montana so I wanted something 'quilty' yet with a few flowers to remind me that spring is on it's way! I've used vintage lace and ribbon, plus a tea-dyed paper doily for the collar and a strawflower from last year's garden! You can view the other participants dresses here as well. I'm still working on the closet to house all the creations, so I will let you know when it's done!

beautiful beautiful dress and I love the hanger - very unique .
It's been fun & now thinking about February !
Jamie, your dress is gorgeous!! I was so looking forward to seeing what you'd do with the doilie and there it is, in pride of place!
I love the textured look your dress has and the combination of the paper and lace. I have a feeling quite a few of the dresses are going to reflect the time of year, roll on February and a hint of Spring!
