Hand made flower girl dress, crafted in Mackay 1960s

A charming handmade flower girl dress, crafted in Mackay — likely around the late 1960s to early 1970s.

Sewn from soft peach organza layered over satin, it features puffed sleeves, a pleated front panel edged in lace, and two delicate satin rosettes at the back waist. The lace trim around the neckline and back panel adds just the right touch of nostalgia and care that only a local dressmaker could bring.

💬 Deb’s Note

Made right here in Mackay, this dress carries the spirit of local weddings and community halls — of satin ribbons, handmade rosettes, and proud mothers sewing by lamplight. The colour is soft and romantic, perfectly in tune with the era’s love of apricot tones and floral trims.
