| Description: | An Entry in Weslaco's annual "Birthday Party" fashion show. Organized by the Chamber of Commerce to highlight the fruit and vegetables grown in the Rio Grande Valley, area citizens created and modeled clothing made from local fruit, vegetables, and flowers. This full-skirted dress was made of sliced corn cobs. Although the photograph does not show the design on the dress, there was a design made of cobs of a different color. Bachelor buttons were also used in the trimming of the dress and fan. |
