I found flowers one of the most fascinating things to look at in terms of clothing. I did this a lot when I was younger, around eleven, and was obsessed with making clothing out of flowers and so would draw it a lot. Some of the flowers really suit the smoothness and gorgeous ruffle of potential dresses and really captured the kind of natural colour and appearance I want to incorporate into the world of one of my current novels I’m working on.

Like a dress fashioned from fresh, strong purple peonies. Waves of lilacs and violets and ruffles of licks of white amongst the higher sections.

Lips that looked like someone had carefully brushed vibrant dahlias along them.

With sleeves of white and purple ruffles, like shoulders of wisterias dripping down her arms
