Date: 5/4/09 6:42 PM Whew! My dd prom dress is finally done! She had seen this dress at Dillards and wanted me to make a modest version of it. I ended up using 4 different patterns modifying each of them and then making up some of my own patterns. It was a trial and error dress and a learning experience. But it turned out beautiful and my dd loves it! 
Now onto the next project or two!

Date: 5/4/09 7:00 PM I like your dress better than the Dillards dress. Yours looks quite a bit more expensive though. |

Subject: Its done! Date: 5/4/09 7:04 PM I will try again to put the full picture in. I was having problems before.
The boughten dress was over $200. My dress cost for fabric was around $60 plus all my time and frustration. But that doesn't count when it is for a loving daughter, does it!http://s573.photobucket.com/albums/ss180/whitneyphotos/?action=view¤t=IMG_1992_edited-1-1.jpg
For some reason I can't get it to link. |
