A friend gave me this dress with panels of embroidered silk and gold thread and asked me to make a pillow so she could enjoy it. It was worn by her grandmother's friend who entered a concentration camp during WWII. They were allowed only the clothes on their back and what they could carry in with them. It was so scarry cutting into such special, beautiful fabric. The back has a secret pocket and the little black bow is some of the leftover silk I just had to make use of. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, given I had no idea what i was doing! lol
