The Story

Molly was my mums eldest sister. Molly started work at just 14 in Withnell Mill. She lived her life around these villages, married and brought up her family. This dress is inspired by old photographs of the dresses worn by millworkers, with large pockets to put their tools in and gathered sleeves for ease of movement.
