About My Dress

Pattern Used:
My own design

Fabrics Used:
Re-cycled Brodie Anglaise, with Tessuti Linen finish.

Time To Create:
Approx 20 hours

Dress Influenced By:
The 'Freestyler Flirty' Frock is inspired by our collection of vintage fabrics, laces, buttons etc. Combining our infatuation of all that is old, used and unique, turning it into something that is young and blissful.

Additional Information:
We wanted to show the diversity of this frock, so we added a couple of our handmade Polly-Esther tops to the 'Flirty' frock. Just for fun...xx

About Me

Name:
Bronwyn Berkin

Sewing Since:
April 2010

My Experience:
Pretty much self taught, apart from the Home Economic sewing lessons at school! Upon opening our Vintage & Retro Store in 2010,we wanted to incorporate our own quirky creations, only using old tablecloth's, quilt covers, doilee's, lace etc. Then watching it all spring to life, turning these wonderful fabric's into something wearable and fun, but also creating a sustainable fashion item.

I'm From:
Yeppoon,
QLD Australia

My Sewing Goals:
Hopefully to keep on improving from those Home Economic classes! To keep on designing, sewing and evolving with our own Polly-Esther Label.

Additional Information:
Our quaint little Vintage & Retro Store we opened in April 2010. Combining our 20 year friendship and all acclomplished within that into creating, designing and re-working our own pieces known as Polly-Esther's.
