Angel of the Forest
2019 Angel Auction wings décor deconstructed; 1980s prom dress, assorted additional textiles
The base dress was acquired from a garage sale and needed to be reduced from a size 22 to a size 6. The plain white taffeta skirt is now embellished with over 400 handmade “feathers” from the set of white wings used at the 2019 Angel Auction Gala event. Additional feathers were made to create a silhouette referencing a tree. The headpiece uses a discarded wedding veil topper, an O-Cedar brand mop head and some leftover trim.
