After living in Seoul with her diplomat husband, Vershbow added Korean traditional paper, called Hanji, to her work.  Her paper dresses began as vehicles to display her jewelry but quickly grew into sculptural forms adorned with her jewelry.   The dresses, although life-sized, are two dimensional but their companion brooches and necklaces are all wearable art.
