Cocoon Dress
This dress was loosely inspired by a butterfly in its cocoon stage. It's comprised of two hand-woven moiré taffeta "insect" sections which gradate in color from dusty violet to teal. The sides are gathered teal chiffon. The stunning Miss Kansas 2009, Courtney Courter, graciously models the cocoon dress. Photography by Stephen Melvin. Hair design by James Pillatzke.
