hand dyed slip dress in watermelon with matching hand beaded shawl
Getting ready for summer…
I’ve just dyed up a batch of silk slip dresses and silk tops. I make these all year, but they are the most popular in the summer. I introduced a new color: silver grey, which looks like a cross between tarnished silver and gunmetal. I love it! I’m planning to wear it with my silver jewelry and silver leather sandals this summer.
