Not my normal type of piece, but quite an exciting make! This is a commission from a ballroom dancer. 100% pure silk. Bias cut. Just leaving it to hang over night before hemming it.

SURPRISE! THE DRESDEN DOLLS are BACK for **four shows only** this year. intimate venues, tickets will vanish.

if you've only seen me solo and have never seen the dresden dolls live....you owe it to yourself to see the dresden dolls live before you die. believe me. it's like a rare total solar eclipse and the path of totality is the east coast. bring your welding helmets. that's how fu**in' white hot this s**t is.
