The contest, Fashion Entrée was hosted by Capers Community Market in vancouver. The mandatory ingredient was natural, sustainable materials. The goal was to create a wearable piece of clothing inspired by or incorporating organic foods.
Corrina Suveges took first place with her Salad Dress. Reminiscent of a celery stalk, this body-hugging evening gown is made of organic-cotton sateen. The bikinilike bust emulates two leaves of radicchio, and the mermaid hemline has layers of wild-greensshaped panels made from hand-felted, hand-dyed Merino wool and organic-cotton batting.
This dress is absolutely gorgeous!
Wow! – Tiffany – I’m reading your posts here for the first time — I’m so excited – Capers in Vancouver you mention here is just 4 blocks from my new home.
Aren’t I fortunate – I’m shopping there all the time – buying all my organic produce.
I only really moved in in early August, so I must have missed this – but I think it is great that you posted this here!

Thanks Diana! If you know of any other “green” events or places in Canada I would love to hear about them!
Salad Dress looks so beautiful
