I'M TRYING TO BUY LESS - INSTRUCTIONS & LORE FOR A REWORKED MEDIEVAL DRESS

This publication is a sewing pattern for a dress - or perhaps now it is a work drawing, or maybe it could be called an instruction. It is full of messy aesthetic choices, which however conveys something which has to do with the crispness of a set of principles and how anyone can take those principles and transform them into a reality with a different texture. Also, I think it could look great on a wall as a nervous poster.
