Pinup #038: Pinup dress in purples Handbag with shimmering pearly paper formingThis darling little pinup dress is made from Nepalese lokta paper in a purple flower print; it is hand stitched in cotton floss onto cold pressed 100% cotton paper. The belted dress features a fitted bodice, short sleeves, and a sweetheart neckline. Hand embroidered lines imitate the folds of the skirt.
