Small Flower Dress III
EPHEMERA IN BLOOM
A collection that gives permanence to the temporary. These framed paper dresses preserve the ephemeral nature of sewing patterns through delicate Japanese paper techniques and hand-cut floral elements, transforming functional guides into poetic objects of beauty.
This piece features a delicate paper dress with a distinctive white ruffled bodice and peach-coloured skirt, displayed against a rich burgundy background. The garment preserves the authentic technical markings and measurement instructions from the original sewing pattern, visible along the hemline in multiple languages. The contrast between the precise construction notations and the tender, doll-like form creates a conversation about utility and nostalgia. The translucent quality of the paper captures light beautifully, highlighting both the fragility of the medium and the enduring nature of dressmaking traditions. This miniature garment stands as a poetic artifact, transforming the ephemeral language of clothing construction into a preserved memory.
