Early Recycling

This is an early recycling effort (1963).  The dress was made from one of my mother's skirts.  The square yoked dress pattern was by Enid Gilchrist who published scale patterns and instructions in the Australian women's magazine "New Idea".  My mother, sister and I cut out the pattern pages and pasted them in an old school exercise book.  Then when we needed a pattern we would make it up in full scale.
