I didn’t make this one – my mother made it for me in the mid 1960s when I was about 17, and I wore it to my best friend’s 18th birthday party. I don’t remember wearing it to any other event, which is a pity. I really liked it and have kept it all these years. Finally, I decided to display it with my daughters’ formal dresses. I added a necklace that belonged to my mother and was a perfect match; and a sixties glowmesh style handbag – not Oreton, but similar.
