This dress is absolutely beautiful and so well made. The fabric is gorgeous. I had to have it altered a bit and my seamstress commented on how well made this dress is.
I think what drew me to this decorative gourd was the bright cheerful colors and flora and fauna motif. Since my home at the moment has a South if the Border feel full of bright colors this piece complements it very well.
The box has cute decoupage pictures of Catrina and others celebrating the traditional and festive Day of the Dead in Mexico. Lots of skeletons and scull masks, and all very colorful. Very fun and well made and I will probably leave it out on a shelf all year.
