Explanation : 

Explanation This is an Explanation about My dress and headpiece which are based on the Patupaiarehe. My dress is made out plaits of cotton which have been sewed together. My headpiece is made out of Flax which has been finely stripped and has been dyed red because Patupaiarehes hair was red. For my Costume I have used Natural resources such as: Flax, Cotton, Camellia leave, thread, dye and water. I made this marvelous costume so I could wear it at a party, as a costume for a play or at our 2010 Lake Rotoma Wearable arts show. I think my Costume is really awesome because I wanted to make something that was Maori and was under my favorite category Fantasy and I know I have.
