About Me1940s sage green dress with a flared skirt and cuffed three-quarter sleeves. This dress is entirely home-made and is heavily decorated with bugle beads and pearls, hand-sewn in a flower and foliate design over the shoulders and down the front of the dress. The beads may have been recycled from an older garment that was no longer worn, to turn this day dress into an outfit for a special occasion.
