 I created this outfit about 20 years ago by replicating original pieces. The hair is really an otter pelt. The ribbon hairpiece is modeled after a style that is thousands of years old. The skirt is made of applicaed (s) fabric and cut and turned ribbons. All of this work is done by hand and took over a year to make, including the beaded belt, ribboned leggins and beaded mocs that you can't see her.

Needless to say, I don't get a chance to wear it very often.

Love the colors! Great job on this. Man, if I had an outfit like that, I'd wear it every day! ...just kidding. Maybe just on Casual Fridays. :)

A year to make, that takes a lot of dedication. Your use of lighting shows it off very well and it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing this little piece of your life with us :)

20 years and you can wear it, that says something good ;)

The out fit is wonderful, great dedication. I would have shown a bit more of the ribbons and your left hand.

This shows me that I have to avoid being lazy and Dress UP!! maybe by the second week LOL
