I gave myself an assignment. I wanted to make a dress that honors The Lovings. Mildred was Black and Native American, and Richard was white. They had married in 1958 in Washington, D.C., where interracial marriage was legal. But on returning home to Virginia, they were arrested, jailed and barred from the state for 25 years for violating the state's Racial Integrity Act. The Supreme Court's unanimous 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia overturned the couple's conviction – and nullified anti-miscegenation laws in Virginia and more than a dozen other states. Interracial marriage was now legal in every state in the union. I decided to make a dress for June 12, which is now Loving Day. June 8, 2023 June...
This skirt was made from muslin scraps. I had this vision that I would have these Graffiti words of inspiration all over the skirt, but it really didn't work out.....got to figure that idea out for another day. For now I decided to hand paint flowers all over it. I will show you the finished circle skirt in an upcoming video.
