This dress I based off of the four off pentacles card. I based it off of this mainly since when reading the novel I remember one card that really popped out that the artist recreated with her characters instead which was the four of pentacles card but, I believe it was from the garden tarot deck. It had on the card peppers and pen castles scattered about along with the main character looking directly at you. I've always been fond of plants and that card just seemed to really stick with me in my head for the longest time. The dress itself is made from 100% cotton fabric and as you might not see it has pepper prints on it. There is a single box pleat radiating from the center back waist and a tulle center front for a bit of appeal. The skirt itself is just a plain circle skirt but, to depreciate the pentacles I cut out 4 circles on the skirt and filled it with tulle. I believe once I did this, the dress was complete and all I wanted to do left was just to finish it which I just mainly used bias tape for since anything more would have made it look to over done.
Please note, the original model is much shorter and smaller than even the size 8 dress form that I used which is why I added her photo to show you how it really looks. Its a shame however I forgot to take a photo of her in the back......-sigh-...
