Dresses
Dresses fascinate me, in this gallery we have the 100 Dresses series and the Ghost Dress series.
100 Dresses
These are the 100 watercolour Dresses, inspired by the book The 100 Dresses by Eleanor Estes in the 1940s. Collette has recreated this show in her own style in her own exhibition in 2018
