Paper Dress

Posted on February 2, 2016

Hello kittens & dawgs! I took a kinda cool picture last year. I really meant to share it with you, but the right opportunity just didn’t present itself.  So, while I’m going through my photo archives I happened upon it again and thought, “Ok, this is the perfect time!”

Displayed in a small independent clothing store in The Commons shopping plaza on North Peters Road, I spied this paper dress and couldn’t resist snapping a shot. I photo-edited the original to a B&W image and added a vignette, as well as my copyright with Pixelmator. These changes somehow suited the picture better, don’t you agree?
Original shot. No edits other than copyright added. Which picture do you like the best – this one or the photo-edited version above?

Isn’t this a fun dress? Of course, you wouldn’t catch me dead in it. With my luck, it would rain while wearing it and we know what kind of disaster that would cause, don’t we? Someone is awful creative to design and bring it together for display.

 

This week’s featured photographer is…

      Colleen, I hadn’t thought of that as a possibility, but you’re so right. That would make me a little self conscience. I guess I better not buy that dress, huh? lol Thanks for stopping in and linking up. I hope to see you again next week!

      Marie, Yikes that’s a scary thought, but at least someone can say, “She’s smokin’ hot!” lol

    As as mere male I’m probably not qualified to comment the dress, but as an enthusiastic B&W photo maker myself, I prefer the monochrome! Thanks for viewing my Scotland photos. Go on, be brave and hop on a plane!

      Keith, Maybe someday I will find my brave and do just that. I’d much rather hop on a plane instead of hopping out of one. lol Thanks for stopping by!

      Kelli, thank you for stopping in and linking up today. The first time I ever saw anything remotely like was on TV, but they were using duct tape. That sounds totally crazy, doesn’t it? It seems it was some sort of contest to see who could come up with the best prom dress design created out of this stuff. I’m sure it was attached to something else, but it still the idea was too odd for me and it stuck literally in memory. 😀

    I was wondering, what happens when it rains and you’re wearing one of those dresses. They are pretty and impressive though.

    That is very cool! Imagine the ink all over the artists hands from handling all that paper! Now that would have been an interesting shot. But I agree with you, the B&W edit looks fantastic. Just seems to suit the subject. Great find!

    That certainly is one neat dress. But, like you, I don’t think I’d be even tempted to wear it – LOL

      Claudia, I guess we could look at this dress as a one-time use garment and take a back up outfit in case of a downpour or a waitress pouring water in our dress. 😀 Thanks for popping over!
