I am totally obsessing over this style of clothing right now and I don't even know what it is called. I have found it under the names faerie, bohemian, gothic, tribal, and shabby-chic. These artists take scraps of fabric and lace, usually recycled, and sew them into magical dresses. They are the perfect balance between ethereal and battle-worn.
These dresses also remind me of this spring. Still full of little natural uprisings, but cold, like buds and unfurling leaves crusted in frost. I mean who thinks it's going to be in the 30's in the middle of May? Seriously. I want to plant my garden already!
I would like to try and make something like this for myself, but I really have no idea where to start. Is there a name for this style? Do you know any other artists who make these mystical garments?
