illustration friday: 100%

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "100%"

(click image to enlarge)
This piece was created for a 2009 calendar by TeNeues Publishing but I thought it could work for the theme. This cute gal (my mom when she was in her 20's) is just about 100% sure that this dress will fit!

I have to agree with the color votes, nice and subtle! I really like this piece! The boots are groovy! I am so mad I missed PR as I needed to work diligently myself! Grrr, work ethic! Anyhoo, it sounds like it was marvy, I'll catch it in the rerun (probably this weekend)! Have a great evening and thanks for your comment!

Spot on here, this is exactly why my mother in law told me she stopped sewing! Just can't return the finished product if it doesn't work for you.
Yummy color palette. She does look fab in the boots.
Thanks for the comment...

But once she clips it, it will be less than 100%!

I love the stack of clothes on the floor next to her. Really adds a punch of color.
