Guna Kinne’s Latvian dress
Guna Kinne (née Klassons) made this Latvian national dress over a period of 30 years. She started the dress as a schoolgirl in Riga and finished the jacket as she fled Latvia at the end of the Second World War.
Guna wore the completed dress for the first time in a displaced persons camp in Germany and added the final touches after she migrated to Australia.
