Last week my mother handed me a little package . . I had no clue what it was . . until I opened it up to find the most gorgeous little embroidered hungarian dress . . the same one I wore to my grandmother's wedding when I was a little thing . . I had seen photos but never knew she still had it . .
She said it would fit Matilda now . . I almost cried . . its been washed and just needs a little bit of the hem fixed but how exciting and awesome to have Matilda wearing something I once wore.
I am going to surprise my grandmother on sunday when we visit , by having Matilda wear it!

That's so lovely! How wonderful that your mum still had it! So beautiful.
PS - I've given you an award on my blog :)
That's stunning! I love heirloom craft work, especially of the wearable kind. It's the best way to keep our knowledge alive through generations.
yay your mum!
