Fall Underneath

♫ ♪ Snakadaktal - Fall Underneath

Here is another one of my stylish while digging dresses.. Couple months ago I was in a fabric store looking for fabrics.. As usual, I started with remnant bins and there was a pinkish piece of fabric with a trace of an unidentifiable print.. I looked a little more and found a piece of fabric in similar color, with fade print of parrots.. Then I knew what I had to find.. After thoroughly digging through piles of fabrics, I ended up with two pieces and three different versions of parrot pattern.. One was neon pink, with neon parrots (about 1.20m), and the other one piece was neon orange (more than 2m), but at the half of the length the print of the parrots changes from gray to slightly colorful.. Remnants are true treasure.. 

At start I knew that neon fabric is perfect for archaeological excavation.. I can still remember the time when we worked at the rescue excavations for four months, and we were required to wear neon safety vests every day.. Terrible thing.. Having a neon dress is better choice.. In my case, I have enough fabrics to make 3 versions neon dresses.. 

For the first one, and only for this season of digging, I used pattern N from Stylish Dress Book – Clothing forEveryday Wear.. The dress has a pockets and simple shape, the kind I need for work.. It also turned out to be my favorite of the season.. I love the color and the fun print, and rayon is truly the best fabric for hot summers.. Somehow I can’t imagine myself wearing neon in the city.. It would be too much..

For the end here's a photo of me in the best "chair" we have in the trench :) Wheelbarrows are very practical for a lot of things like sitting, sleeping, driving, and of coarse, moving soil from the trench..

Thanks to my favorite sister Dina and my dear friend and colleague Ivana for the photos :)
