Machine embroidered velvet dress
This dress was made for Renee Pollock who was a customer of Bruce Papas for many years, and also introduced her daughters to the virtues of couture garments. In 2017 her granddaughter’s graduating collection at Massey University College of Creative Arts was a tribute to her and her love of fashion. It was titled simply 'Renee'.
