Belonging Dress
A dress to remind us that we are a part of nature, that we belong here.
Ferns symbolize new beginnings and hope for future generations. They are among the most ancient plant life on earth and therefore are deeply connected with our ancestors. Folktales also refer to it as a favored plant among fairies and other earth guardians for this reason.
Dyed with madder root and quebracho, this full length dress in silk voile is embellished with hand embroidered, beaded ferns. The honeycomb smocking at the waist is hand embroidered.
