  • Parrot

    (Back to the birds again.  This outfit seems to require an enormous number of feathers, if the wings are even somewhat proportionate.  I really wish there was a picture for this one!)

    A yellow gown with cuirass bodice and cap of green feathers like a parrot's head, two long feathers forming the tail on the skirt the rest of the dress green satin, with wings at the side formed of feathers.
