Second to last reader dress selection!
This is Sandy's dress and here's what she said about it when she submitted it:

My Grandmother made this dress and it was in her closet when we cleaned out her house. She probably made it in the 40's or 50's. It is precious to me and I wore it today in honor of her--I feel like she is spending the day with me when I wear it. The pin at the neck was on the dress when I found it in the closet. The buttons on the big pockets are wooden and it has an eyelet lace collar.
