Victorian Echoes
"Victorian Echoes" is a delicate paper sculpture that merges historical fashion with sustainable artistry. This Victorian-style dress is meticulously crafted from vintage sewing pattern paper, then naturally dyed using berries harvested from local trees. The resulting palette of muted greys and subtle purple hues creates a haunting beauty that speaks to both the fragility of fashion and the enduring nature of craft.
Each fold and pleat has been carefully positioned to capture the elegant silhouette of Victorian dress-making, while the visible pattern markings serve as a reminder of the garment's conceptual origins. The juxtaposition of the structured bodice against the flowing skirt echoes the constraining yet romantic aesthetic of the Victorian era.
This unique piece stands as a testament to the beauty found in repurposing materials, connecting modern sustainable art practices with historical fashion sensibilities.
