Way to go mom! She looks beautiful and she will always remember the effort you put forth for her and how much she loved the dress. Your story brought back many memories for me and my moms efforts with the many special dresses in my life. Do I remember them? YOU BET! Do I remember the ones she didn't make? Not really! Your time and effort matters to her.

Lovely dress and the style works well on your daughter. The clear straps were an excellent save.
