Opps now, I've done it again... green that is! Oh dear, it seems to be a reoccuring theme with me at the moment! perhaps it's my subconscious desire to see the start of Spring! Anyway, next month I promise to do better, really I do, NO green!! and I expect you gals to hold me to it!
I took the inspiration for my butterfly dress from Shelly's Blog, scroll down to her D-R-E-A-M garland, beautiful work! I painted onto a piece of dress pattern with acrylics, added some magazine scraps then decorated the hem with mini paper clips and painted bells.
The Linky for March is below, as I said earlier I'll now start to post the 'Dress Up' project on the first of each month. The linkys remain open and you can add to them in your own time, no pressure!! You can always find the 'Dress Up' post under the appropriate month in my Blog Archive, if you have time go back and look at January, there are still some wonderful creations coming in. Once again a very special thank you to all of you taking part, what an inspiration you are!

this is just adorable! love all your tiny details: the paper clips, bells.... just very ehtereal!
This dress screams spring. Like you, I seem to be stuck on green, but yours is less obvious than mine. The details in this dress are stunning. I've been inspecting it for several minutes, going back and forth between the close view and normal view. It is amazing, as are the "wings" and the bells strung on paper clips.
I had my post set for tomorrow. After all, I haven't even made it to all the February sites, yet, since several popped up last night. But then I realized that tomorrow is today in YOUR world.
BTW, I've been rooting for the Swiss in curling just because I met you! Once again, thank you so much for putting this project together.
OOh that is pretty Etherial IS the right word ! The wings are so delicate & I love the fact they are leaves with all the veins in.
Green or not - lovely with bells too !
Mine is ready so can I pop it up ?
wow, it's like March - a little bit of winter and a little bit of Spring. I love your green colors and that lovely bells.
Yes-the dress really does speak spring! Lovely.
This is absolutely gorgeous!!! From a fairie wardrobe, no doubt!
I have no words... I'm charmed!
Another precious creation Margaret!
wonderful colors and the bells are a sweet touch too!!!
This is so much fun!

i'm not talented like you (and your friends) but i certainly enjoy seeing your creations!!
Well, I don't think it is all that GREEN, looks more lavender and misty bliss. Beautiful! Where do you find miniature paper clips? Sounds like something I have to have!
Lovely... and for the record, I personally don't mind the green. I'm ready for Spring too.
What an interesting idea for a dress ... It looks very spring-like =)))
I have also started to think about spring clothes =)

I love your 'dress up' posts. Thanks to for giving details of what you did; I always appreciate that. Love the painted bells! Just beautiful.
the details are so sweet...I love the bells and the butterflies....the dress has a lot of purple in it too so it isnt just green....I think green is a great color for march though.......beautiful dress....
Well as a lover of green Margaret... you'll get no arguments from me if you use it again!!
Your dress is so beautiful, the colouring wonderfully delicate and I just adore how you have used bells along the bottom... bravo :D

Another beautiful dress Margaret, I love the colours (even the green!), they go together so well. The bells at the bottom are a lovely touch too.
More fun! Yours is so much more ethereal than mine, but it's winter in Canada. I just HAD TO make something a little more substantial...:-)
I soooooo love the bells! You continue to inspire me. Stop...just stop... I can't stand it... I'm wanting to make a dress.. I don't have time to make a dress....
Sweet butterfly dress... love the colors.. thanks for this wonderful challenge.

Wow lots of gorgeous dresses this is my first dress-up since it's 60 today thinking spring dress and already I'm stuck on making a few more.
you know, I've been having this fantasy about a gorgeous runway show at the end of the year.
each of us should put all the 12 dresses together and have a party, don't you think? :)
The bells are lovely, the dress is very spring!
Allow me to join you this month ... After all, in Russia began to wear dresses in the spring, as warmer ;-)))
Oh, not to dismantle with Insert link. Cross out number 23, the reference is incorrect :-))
I love these pretty dresses Margaret and wonder if you would mind if I take your inspiration as an idea to set as a challlenge on one of my flickr groups as i think this would be perfect.
Wow, another gorgeous dress Margaret! The colours are lovely, and the butterfly and bells are a beautiful touch!! Off to have a look at everyone elses dresses now!!
