My March dress is made up from a page of poetry
featuring
William Wordsworth's
Daffodils
and an illustration from an old Botanical book.
The trimming round the neck line is swan down
and on the waistband a vintage button in a delicate green
trimmed with the softest little feathers I've ever found.
The waistband is ribbon from a bunch of flowers.
with a little lace at the hem to finish it all off.
