Numero uno from the Moonbox

Well I got everything out of storage back in November, and as Jon and I had only just moved into our new place I didn't really have a look at what I'd got in terms of fabrics. Last week I rooted through them with the lovely Susie, and we came across some absolute gems!

First up is this little dress - it was mid calf length and quite an unflattering fit. So I put some darts in the bust, shortened it and finally made a couple of ties for the waist out of the left over fabric. The dress looks like it was handmade and has an ancient looking label in it, but I don't really know what era it's from...
