Joy, that dress is amazing on both sides!
Your paper dress reminds me of a story a colleague tells. On a business trip one time he bought a pair of paper swim trunks out of a hotel vending machine so that he could join the rest of the crew at the pool. Swimming was fine, but after a few minutes in the hot tub he noticed tiny pieces of fiber rising to the top of the water and realized his swimsuit had disintegrated, leaving him with just a thin elastic band at the waist. He's a dignified, older man with a great deal of modesty and when he tells the story it's hilarious.
Runcarla, I once wore a silk shell to a job interview, intentionally backwards! It was too low in the front for that setting, but the print was great with my jacket, and I got the job!
