Here is my entry for this months challenge. Sorry, it's a long post.

I really love the paper dresses I have been seeing online lately. I decided I would attempt to make one myself. My first try I used newspaper which for me due to Arthritis was a whole lot easier to work with than cardstock. I enjoyed this challenge and would like to make more dresses. Now that it is fall, we have many craft and antique shows in my area so I will be on the lookout for vintage forms. Thank you for stopping by.

The gloves were cut using velour paper, I was amazed how awesome the button embossing looked on this paper.

I used a metallic paper for this cut, I love the way it shines.

Shameless begging...

LOL

70 eyelets! My hands were killing me by the time I finished.

Attaching the lace was the easy part

I taped the folder down to prevent shifting
