George Turner and Athena Dedousis, both 5, from St Christopher’s School, Epsom, with their winning entry, ‘Princess Dress’
Young dressmakers from an Epsom primary school beat budding artists from across the country to scoop a national award.
Five-year-old pupils from St Christopher’s School in Downs Road, Epsom, created a beautiful technicolour dress from handmade felt for a competition held by the Independent Schools Association.
Their entry won the Independent Schools Association’s Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage One category in the textiles section at a national exhibition at the Daventry Court Hotel in Northamptonshire on Saturday, November 14.
The children fashioned the dress - called the Princess Dress after a book by the same name - by rubbing Merino wool in a range of colours.
