From The Dreamer's Collection, "The Empress" is dressed in a purple and gold gown and a crown of flowers is atop her head.
The Empress dreamt one night that she was a shimmering mermaid. She could become that with my new collection of patterns that are interchangeable at the neckline and waistline. She is first in a series that are interchangeable. So the mermaid could have fairy wings and have a crown if you so please. Of course they would be lovely as they are in a series. So gather your threads and fabric and start dreaming.
