Race Dress

While at secondary school I started my fabric collection.  I would go to the department store sales for bargains.  Family members would give me fabrics for Christmas and birthday presents.  So when a dress was needed for a special occasion there was always a suitable fabric.  This Swiss cotton dress was made for the Marble Bar Races in 1968.  Such good quality fabrics were available at reasonable prices but are now becoming harder to find and are more expensive.
