* * * ALISSA* * *

Alissa lives in Burggasse, near ecoshop and between church and shoestore. She is unemplyed, because she doesnt want to work in whatever job only for money. She knows she cant continue like this long time, cause her savings are running out and she has already tasted all different flavors of cheapest tuna fish in nearest supermarket.

But still she believes in her dream, she wants to design summer dresses for young women and live in Italy. Last december she was visiting in Roma for a week to realize even a little bit of her fantacies. Nobody in her neighborhood know how much mental strenght she gained there. Every time when she has a strong pressure in her heart because of her unemployment situation, she comforts herself by remembering the words heard in front of a orchid shop near Travestere. A young handsome boy stopped in front of her, smiled and said something, Alissa still doesnt know what it means. But in her heart she feels, these words are a sign. ”sei una ragazza bellissima! mi sposeresti?”

BROWN FLOWER DRESS AS A BRIDGE
Spring dress made from cotton and polyester. From inside it is covered partly with soft and partly with hard cotton. The shaping in the back has made by being inspired by the old Vienese style of a royal princess dress. The dress is covered by decorations of little images of running deers and applicated writings made with blue and yellow ropes. The sentences sewed in Finnish to the brown canvas tell a story about a rain of frozen orchids. ”Huomenna sataa tuhansia valkoisia orkideoja, joista puolet jäätyy matkalla maahan. Kuulemme niiden naksahdukset, kun jää taittuu kiven pintaan. Koskaan ennen sade ei ole tuntunut tällaiselta.”
The size of this dress is approximately: 38
