That looks like fun! How many layers does the skirt have? How did you do the waistband? Great job!

I remember reading the original article on paper. I don’t think it contained anything wackier than I’ve seen on Project Runway. :) (Anyone fancy a plaid couture gown?) Sometimes a design can start “way out there” and eventually morph into something which will appeal to a larger audience. But sometimes the design influences what people want to wear! The current designs on Brook's website are intriguing, wearable, and beautiful. I appreciate her dedication to local and organic/sustainable, as well.

If you haven't checked out her current 2009 work, and are only looking at the 2003 article, you're missing out! http://brookthere.com/ She offers a version of the much-admired Mobious dress, even. And for the people who say they want to be inspired by technique, consider the "Tangled" dress! :)

Everything in Brook's portfolio won't appeal to everyone, but I appreciate designs that encourage me to think beyond the picture on the pattern envelope. I'm not the most creative person, so I need a few "funky" design inspirations to give me a push in a new direction.
