Pineapple gown - Ananas

Published:

Description

Pineapple dress made by me for 18th Century masked ball.

Pineapple smocked yellow over dress lightweight cotton, underskirt green cotton.

Bodice is quite pineapply fabric too, pique wowen (only suitable yellow they had in October :P) cotton/elastane. Not 100% accurate for that matter, but lucky for me because I've put on weight and that elastane gave just enough ease for the bodice not to tear as I move.

Golden beads on the ruffles.

Mask base was "mardi gras" mask, which I then covered with yellow lace, and painted black feathers green.

Personally I wouldn't be caught dead in those colors LOL - and yet the creativity and technique make me love this creation, despite the difference in tastes :-) The pineapply texture / smocking of the skirt is really impressive. What on earth gave you that idea? It's wonderful.
