What a fabulous piece.  Thank you for putting this up.  Hadn’t seen anything about it.  Lot of talented people contributed.

That is so inspiring, I love the completed dress & would love a really close look - and be able to touch it!!
So many beers, so little time.

@realale The dress is currently anticipated to be displayed in about a year's time (October 2022) at SENSE Birmingham - so that may suit  you.

Sadly I doubt that one will be able to touch it to feel the textures tho'.

The list of currently planned showings is here.
