The woman with dress; formerly known as nude.

This series of pics show a bronze dress being created on the original clay form, then being placed on the bronze female form. I need to call Bilbo and ask about the name of this piece and the artist's name. I will be back from deer-camp by the end of the weeek and will get the story and update this posting.
