I found this lovely linen garden party dress in Berkeley CA. As summer rounds the corner I thought about the people that brought great summer items into being… the summer patents. I drew the items and included the inventor, date and transferred them into embroidery.

The Ice Cream Cone: W.W. Turnbull, 1925!!

The weight of this dress is perfect for a warm summer garden party!
