Hollie's Dress

Lee, Paul (producer). Sakkab, Annie (director). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author).

Summary: Through the story of Hollie's first dress, we see a Mennonite mother passing family values and community traditions to her daughter, Hollie. Hollie, like all other girls in her community, has some big decisions ahead of her. And the new responsibilities in her approaching adulthood are symbolized by the making of her first dress. This rite of passage for a young Mennonite girl is recounted by Hollie's mother Deborah, whose own mother helped her cut and sew her first dress at 15, as she describes their community's traditions of dressmaking.
