Wow 🤩 How stunning is Nadine’s “Paperdoll” design!

Nadine experimented with different paper folding and construction techniques to create the dress. She took inspiration from Elizabethan style collars for the neck piece and tried to create a queen of hearts inspired look! The dress is made entirely from old newspapers!!
