So I came up with this idea on the looong drive back from Burning Man (2,500 miles=lots of time to think). Fungitron debuted at Halloween but its real venue is Burning Man, with a planned appearance at Mardi Gras along the way.
One day back in early March I was strolling around Gare du Nord in Paris, waiting for a friend to get in from London. I wound up coming up on a shop selling reused goods, and in a bin on the street I found the most fabulous vintage duvet cover. I mean, this is the kind of fabric we all dream about, right? Now, it was freezing cold and I was living out of a 32 L backpack, but I HAD to have this fabric. And it HAD to be a sundress. I wore it with tights and a tan long sleeved shirt for a loooong time.
I thought up this design on the looooong drive back from Burning Man–there’s nothing like 2,200 miles alone to get the creative juices flowing. The fabric is a quilting cotton from Joann’s (called “daydream believer,” just in case you need something to hum while looking at the photos).
My favorite part is that I don’t feel the need for a bra with this.
