Etsy in Drapes

My first drape dress was a double surprise. Drape dresses are weird because they don't look too enticing on a hanger but when you try it on, the drapes just, they just, ahhh.... so very pretty. When my step mother came over to Oregon for my sister's wedding, she brought along with her, her new drape dress. It was black underneath with a dusty grey light weight fabric that was a bit sandy and draped like a goddess. Well, turns out, my step mother was a bit big for the dress. I was not too big for the dress. I got the dress, with a huge smile! Actually, my first thought was: urgh, weird. What a weird shape. However, I am never the one to turn down free things, especially dresses so I tried it on and BOY! it was fabulous!

Drape clothing has a way of changing shape and movement which is so cool. I had to skim the surface of drape handmade items on Etsy to share:
