My inspiration for this dress came for the ringed seal which isn't the most beautiful animal but it found a place in my heart whilst researching about them. They have a lovely ringed (hence the name) pattern all over their body which inspired the manipulation in this dress. I have create lots of rings around the middle of the dress from folded over fabric sewn down (kind of like pleats), they go all the way round to the back of the dress. The shape was inspired by an image of the seals skin hanging (I now not very nice but it was inspirational).
The dress has dropped arm holes and a high neck line front and back, the arm hole is to mimic the shape of the skin here.
