Rope Dress
A shipwrecked siren dress built from layered rope, reclaimed fishing net, and a simple bra base, finished with rhinestones and twisted hemp details.

Knotted rope cascades over draped fishing net into a ragged skirt that looks hauled up from the sea floor — equal parts edgy and ethereal, with a texture you can feel across the room. Charity Grace builds the whole piece on a basic underwire bra, draping and twisting three different rope widths into place with hot glue and hand stitching. The matching rope hair clips and arm cuff pull the whole look together and take almost no time at all.
