Synopsis

Her mother shares a whimsical saying about a 'golden needle' that can create magic in garments, planting the seed of ambition in Nellie's mind. As she grows older, Nellie becomes increasingly aware of the drabness of women's house dresses and the need for something more stylish and empowering.
