Snuffy, your rough clean-up is pretty good! I wouldn't attempt it with my forgotten school French.
Your questioned line- My dress was always mended, I think may be a little better translation.

A little more idiomatic English to polish it up.

Thanks, michaelr, for remembering it, and Snuffy for a pretty good translation.
Anne Vanderlove has some cds out, I would like to hear them.
