This dress is made entirely from poplar wood molded to shape using the bent wood lamination technique. The under dress is constructed entirely out of pantyhose.

The skirt is completely mechanical--simply by pulling the rings on either side of the model's chest the entire skirt raises up and collapses within itself to "curtsy."

Adventurous design, I really like the "curtsy" rings. Very original!
