Unfinished Song #23

Butterfly reflections

The mood

The sketch


The inspiration

This dress depicts dealing with loss, how it impacts a survivor, and the grief that is forever in your reflection.

Unfinished Song #23 is inspired by the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico; the belief of your loved ones returning in the form of a Monarch Butterfly.

The garment is a princess bodice with a trumpet skirt, made of satin, and features over 550 handsewn golden mirrors.
