This dress is designed after a line of plush cats by San-X that "disguise" themselves as food. Their official website can be found here: [link]

I came up with the idea of making this dress after a dream I had about seeing someone in a brown Nyanko dress! Strange but true. I put a lot of love into this design, and even though it's quite simple looking, there are a lot of little tedious details within it. The dress is white cotton fabric lined with a dark pink - giving it a light pink appearance.

All of the little green ruffles on the apron were hand made by me, and the little Peach Bun Nyankos are ironed-on images that I edited in Photoshop to be more crisp and clear. I did a slightly darker pink gradient on the bottom of the dress, and hand-colored white lace to be the same pink with a fade to a darker pink at the very bottom. The matching purse was made with the same fabrics and techniques as the dress. I purchased the pink petticoat that is under the dress online.

The shoes are my absolute FAVORITE part! I love how they sort of look like a 50's poodle skirt style. They were originally suede shoes that I bought, then I mixed textile medium with paints and re-colored them; they each also have a leaf and ribbon on each buckle. The cat ears were made for me as a Christmas gift by my friend Jenn...they also feature ribbons and leaves to match the theme! The pony falls don't quite match my current shade of blonde hair, but I love them anyways! They have lots of difference lace and ribbon within them.

I am really happy with how this came out! It's SO much fun to wear!
