Olivia’s 1780s First Communion Dress

By Jennie Chancey

My daughter Olivia wanted to look like a princess, and I wanted to find something classic-looking for her First Communion. The portrait dress looked like a perfect fit. Not being a particularly advanced seamstress, I was a bit scared to do it in solid white, but am pleased with how it turned out and so was Olivia, who says she felt like a queen.
