This dress was a joint effort by my mother and myself. I could not have done it alone, and in any case, she taught me to sew in the first place, so it’s really all down to my mum!
Thanks also go to my father and my mother’s friends for artistic direction and advice.
Finally, to my wonderful husband who patiently sat downstairs for 5 months while we made it!
Buttons and loops made by:
Harlequin-uk
Petticoat made by my mum.

It’s a beautiful dress. What is even better is that you and your mother shared time making it together.
