This week I had the great fortune to make a Taormina Festival dress for Lorain (Ohio) International Festival court member, Hannah Congelio. A full cotton orange skirt accented horizontally with colored ribbon was gathered onto a flat waist band with a zippered entry. A yellow peasant blouse was given shape with a draw string neck line and short sleeves. A small pentagon shaped apron edged in 4 inch lace finished the ethnic old country look. This outfit took about 6 hours to create. I created my own pattern from an original garment. It was a welcomed challenge and I’m happy with the end result.
