Bodice: Burlap, with one skeleton layer and a second layer wrapped around one side. Detailing done in twine and hemp. I dyed the top with Rit in Cocoa Brown, but I was unhappy with how dark it turned out and the red tint it took on. I used Rit Color Remover and then re-dyed for only a couple of minutes using a mixture of Cocoa Brown and Dark Green.

Skirt: Faux green suede from SyFabrics and leftover burlap from the bodice. The top is faux taupe suede from Jo Ann. I weathered the skirt with Crayola Kids' Paint (white, green, brown mixture)

Belts: The larger belt was thrifted by a friend, and the smaller belt is made of pressed souvenir pennies painted with acrylic paint and hot glued onto a chain.
