Mrs. Sylvia Agatha (Holness) Thompson

c. 1935, Mandeville Jamaica, WI.  

" Dress mattered" and dressing  properly was not a matter of choice, it was expected.  My grandmother, "Sylvie" along with her two sisters (Cislyn & Evelyn) were master seamstress and had an innate sense of fashion and style. Mrs. Sylvia Thompson was a well known and respected dressmaker and business woman in Mandeville Jamaica for over 30 years.  She was known to have designed/constructed custom made dresses from fashion magazine pictures, using women's measurements only (no formal fitting), made her own patterns and purchased fine fabrics from Kingston, Jamaica.
