"Friends and relatives were impressed with the wedding dress that Justina designed and made for herself. Chicken wire served as a crinoline with 250 handmade silk rosettes following the shape of a heart on the back of the voluminous skirt. Soon she had design requests from friends and acquaintances for their wedding dresses and the business took off."
