The Floral Dress

I found it in the back corner of a old garage on a table at an estate sale. The Children were selling off the parents belongings. I suppose the parents had either died or went to live at a seniors home. The dress was amongst old pillows, sheets, afghans and curtains. I am sure their son who was tending to the items in the garage did not expect anyone to buy the small pile of clothes but I did. I wish there had been more, I liked this Lady's style (Whoever she was).



This was the best pic of the dress taken from the side. "Why I am making the weird face I do not know" I got two more dresses from the same sale. And that was all the clothing that was there. I will show you the other two in the future.




The previous owner handmade the dress. She did a fantastic job. I would have guessed it was store bought until I did some serious looking over to find little handmade details here and there. It also has a matching belt that I did not wear for these pics.



Here is a closeup of the fabric.. which took me over to the park to take pics amongst the flowers.




Whoever she was she did not wear this dress very many times. It looks next to new. When she did wear it I wonder where too? Did she wear it to the park and make faces next to sunflowers? *hehehe* Somehow I don't think so.





Did she crawl up a log and balance on one foot?? Maybe at one time.. but I don't think she did it in this dress. Whoever you were or are, I just wanted to tell you.. I like your dress it's pretty. You did a wonderful job sewing it and I love the fabric.



*Thank you*
