Mont Vernon Souhegan High School senior, Julia Breckenridge, is gifting us an encore presentation of her Senior Project at the Library on Wednesday, June 9th at 7pm under the tent. Don’t miss the chance to see this fantastic dress in person. Julia was inspired to replicate this gorgeous silk taffeta dress from a 1766 oil painting titled Deborah Hall, by William Williams. 8 months of work to pattern and create by hand not just the dress, but the undergarments. Presentation attendees learned a little about the 16 year old American Colonial model, the painter, and of course sewing techniques. Senior Project was optional this year so this makes this an even greater accomplishment.
