inspiration was from the silk pink top and bundle dyed fine silk from a workshop attended (used as sleeves). With pale pink the focus, I chose other fabrics I had stored to make the patches for the skirt part. Darker mauves picked out the colours in the prints.

Silk painted front panel takes butterfly and pansies image ideas from the prints of the other patch materials. A lot of experimental batik work with logwood natural dye pigment went into the muted lilac background of the silk painting.

After completion, later a pink silk sash belt was added to form a waist to the A-line. Extra pink cotton lace sections sewn over corners of the silk painting and also over mauve taffeta patches at back.
