Welcome to Dress Up in September!
This month I had so many ideas although very few of them actually saw any action!
Since making my Asian journal in Carole's online class, I've been on the look out for variations on this theme and I eventually decided on a dress with a hint of the Far East.
I like the gentler colours and of course I went with my favourite blue/greens. I don't tend to use a lot of pink in my work but I love this combination.
I started by attaching a backing paper and added paint, netting and scraps. I couldn't resist a little beady eye for each fish!
I glued on a tree cut from a paper serviette then added some gathered ribbon flowers with a bead centre.
I was recently asked about the wardrobes and if we're going to feature them at any stage, so... my challenge is this, try to have your wardrobe or box completed in time to post a picture with your November dress (you have two months!) if we leave it any longer than that then they'll never get done! well, mine certainly won't! Once again a super special thank you to all of you still playing along, nine dresses and counting!! superb!

You have really taken the Asian theme to new heights. I really love it, and was so impressed with the cut tree. I really love all the layers. So much to see, so little time.
I posted my dress at midnight and forgot to come back and link it. Go figure. And yes, I'll have my cabinet finished, even if I have to improvise how to hang the dowel. Thanks again for this project.
Oh you dress is just gorgeous! What a stunning creation. Wow! I love it!

Love your Far Eastern style dress Margaret - you never fail to amaze and they are such a joy to look at.
I'm a bit late this month, but have now added my own - still enjoying these little dresses - a lot!
Well, better late than never! I am so enjoying seeing everyone's creations every month. I will be a little sad when December ends, I may just have to design an accessory each month next year for the trunk!

Mine is finally done. I can hardly wait to see everyone's wardrobes in November!
