Alice's Dress

I met Rakefet Levy about a year , for those who do not know her, Rakefet is one of the more interesting designers here in Israel and you can see part of her work here:
About two weeks ago I went to visit her at the studio and left with an amazing dress of her for dyeing.

After the mordant process. I started to bundle the dress but  I had to figure how to do it.  This dress made with a lot of fabric and ruffles, the lower part consisted of two layers of fabric. Only the bundling took me hours but in the end I really like the outcome.

      Irit, this is beautiful...nothing less than what I have come to expect from you. Will you wear it in Cyprus? It would be amazing if you were standing on the beach at sunset, or just stepping out of the water (in my imagination).

    Beautiful dress and prints. What fabric is it made of?
    You mentioned that you used a mordant before, what did you use?
