I made this dress the other night out of some material that I bought when I was sixteen and brought with me to Canada because I had always loved it!
It is called the Penny Dress because I was having trouble making the bodice fit properly at the bust, so I tried tying a penny (like when you make tie-dyed fabric) in the centre of the bodice and it worked amazingly!
I drafted the pattern myself and made the collar from an old napkin and some incredible lace from the 1930s that I also bought in Australia.
It snowed yesterday and the mountain is sporting a fine white blanket!
