Provenance

Great to be featured on Provenance today - a site that explores the story behind products, where they are made, who made them etc. The questions we should all be asking! We are on the "Stories" page, hand sewing petals to a skirt!

Petals! All prepared and ready for hand sewing.


The Florence wedding dress

Named after the Irish suffragette Florence Moon who was honorary- secretary of the Connaught Women's Franchise League, an active member of the Women's National Health Association and part of a C.W.F.L deputation which obtained support for women teachers. With the outbreak of war, along with many other Galway suffragettes she became involved in efforts concerning war, such as fund raising and provisions. What a woman!
