i made dresses out of leaves.
one year it was japanese maple the other it was magnolia. magnolia leaves smell better than the flowers, in my opinion. i sewed the leaves together. on the japanese maple dress you will find two black pieces of fabric on the straps to make taking the dress on and off easier. no other fabric is used thru the dress and no fabric is used on the magnolia dress. i just identified the trees and collected the leaves at my apartment complex.
