Pinup #027: Pinup dress in strawberries on blue Burlesque Materials: Japanese paper and cottonThis darling little pinup dress is made from Korean hanji paper patterned in red strawberries and white flowers on a bright blue background; it is hand stitched in cotton floss onto cold pressed 100% cotton paper. The belted dress features a fitted bodice, short sleeves, and a sweetheart neckline. Hand embroidered lines imitate the folds of the skirt. I think this dress would look perfect on Betty Draper (or on your wall!). The dress is six inches
