Paper Dress





This is the second paper dress sample for an art class that I will teach at the GRADS teen parent program.

The template folds forming a box that can hold a secret message or a special treasure between the front and back of the dress that are held together with a piece of ribbon.

There are layers of decorative papers, tissue, paints, embossed designs, and cut outs forming the front of the dress. The back of the dress is torn pieces of paper glued down to form a ruffled train.

Playing dress up





Playing dress up
Mommy’s heels
Her pearls and earrings
Twirling round and round
Watching everything she did
Wanting to be just like her
I’m all grown up,
A style of my own
But inside my heart
My soul and my mind
The woman I am
Mother, wife, daughter, sister
Is because of my mother
Walking in her shoes
Dancing in her love
Just doing it my way
Me
