NFT: 99-Yr-Old Woman Makes a Dress a Day for a Child in Need

Nearly every day, Lillian Weber makes a one-of-a-kind dress for a little girl she will never meet.

“It keeps me going after 99 years,” she says. “I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found this to do. I have been blessed with this.”


Quote:
A mother of five, Lillian was born and raised on an Iowa farm with three siblings, and all of her dresses were made by her own mother.

“We went without a lot of things because we couldn’t afford it,” Lillian says. “And these little girls, I can imagine that they have a lot of feelings maybe even worse than what we had to go through.”

She takes the time to make each dress extra special, personalizing each design with a pattern, applique or stitching detail.
