This dress was a project with the Newark Valley Historical Society Youth Interpreters program. It was sewn from a pattern from the society's collection. I used medium weight linen in period appropriate colors and pattern, and sewed the dress completely by hand. This was the first time I had attempted such a project, and despite my initial intimidation I found it enjoyable and rewarding.
