Show me your feathers

The creative flow never ends. I woke up this gorgeous saturday morning to the fact that Aly projected her signature crochet on a hand painted piece of denim. Some people never stops. And that overwhelms me,but in a good way. She put together a painted denim patch showcasing my famous peacock with her stunning blue waves and threads to create a collar wearable over a tank top and make it shine!
Thanks Aly,you amaze me!

NEW RECYCLED AND UPCYCLED DRESSES

I have made this Collection of dresses from pieces of jeans legs,hems and recycled jean shirts. The patch work idea gives this item a colorful and unique motif. The skirt is A line and has a complete flow in a shape of a triangle. The tops are decorated with zippers,tafetan silk fabric,or beads.They are a Sexy sillohuete and they attach around the neck with a denim string,a beaded necklace in peacock tones or a hand crochetes string made by a fellow artist. I painted the red paisley and then added turquoise beads. They don't stretch because they are made frim 100% cotton but the halter string can be adapted to any neck lenght. Total lenght from top of the neck is 37". Absolutely unique. RThey can be made in other sizes by request but denim parts or colors can be slightly different.For the hand made and recycle lovers.

Concentric circles painted like retro stitches

I painted concentric circles like stitches in gold, copper, and bronze fabric paint to give the dress a sixties retro look.The bottom part of the dress looks like the belt and loops of a pair of jeans making it unique and so different.Dress it up with bronze strappy sandals to a very sassy night out or just rattan flip-flops for day time!.
Invisible Zipper in the side for a better fitting.
It is one of a kind and my original design.
This is the only one I have , no other sizes. No stencil, no copies.This is a unique hand painted Dress in dark brown denim from C-Loe Paris.
Talla 3 or size medium.
Measurements are : 38 " around bustier in the widest area ,33" waist , 40 " around hips and 30 1/2 " long from collar to lower end dress.


I use fabric paint.The paint doesn't fade and the colors stay shiny always. Glitters are water resistant because they are mixed with the paint.
Regular wash or hand wash is recommended. No dry clean, no bleach,no fabric softener,please. When iron , don't press on painting.

If you prefer to have it on your own favorite jeans ,jacket ,outfit,canvas or where your imagination goes , contact me and I will charge you only for the painting.
