Is That Your Scapula Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
A scapular art dress created by artist Rachel Wright, available on Etsy for $900.
This piece is called “Scapular” because of the wing-like velvet shoulder blades that grace the back. The slip is a rayon slip probably from the 50’s that I dyed a scarlet red. I then used a variety of different fabrics for the appliqué: velvet, silk for the many petaled breast & kidney, a recycled sari for the flower-heart, recycled leather for the tentacles on the bottom, and moiré silk for the vertebrae.Related: "The Visible Woman Stalks the Catwalk."
