Priscilla Presley Blue Hood Mini Dress

Styled after the mini dress worn by Priscilla to a friends wedding. I used a modern polyester knit fabric very similar to the polyester double knit fabric that was used in her actual dress. in the late 60s-early 70s polyester knit was a new and very popular fabric, as it was easy to work with and easy to care for, no ironing required! Depending on the photo the blue seems to change color anywhere from gray to pale blue to aqua.
