Dress 36 purses
“I am a cat person so maybe that explains it.”
-7 tote canvas totes bags, earliest is 1982
-3 scout belts from 2002

-1 draw string promo bag from a medical conference
-denim pencil case with my name on it used in grades 4 – 6, 1970 – 1973
-1 Barbie plaid bag, 1970’s
-1 ceramic place card holder shaped like a purse
-1 set of shoulder pads
-My original 1960’s suede and fringe shoulder purse with its original rabbit foot still attached
-20 “purses”
-27 make up bags (dated from the early 1980s)
-1 black flower hat pin
-1940s satin jewelry bag that belonged to a relative (Grandmother or Great Aunt Robin)
-phone wire, corsage pins, thread, fish line,
dozens of plastic bags, florist wire
Nametag = My scholastic all American honor society membership card, has to be the late 1970s
This dress was originally designed as a full sized half wall piece to accommodate the weight and number of bags. I actually donated about 10 to Goodwill that did not fit into the design. Once I found the tote bags and happened upon the idea of stuffing them to support the weight, the dress became small like her sisters. All items (except the totes) can be removed and used from the skirt portion of the dress.
