Do you think my red hat will go with it?Me:Yes Shell do you want this fabric instead?Shelly: Yes!!!Me Alright!!Shelly: with a big smile and a quick peck to the cheek. "You are a good mom"Me : (Smile and sigh) Thank you Shelly..
So this is a peek at the almost made dress with yards and yards of flowing material..
As I am creating it I am realizing that it it is going to be quite stunning once she adds the fun breakfast in tiffany's inspired red hat , red heals and red jewelry. I am excited to see it all put together.
I guess I should go sew the rest of the dress up! I will show you the finished product on Saturday when she is dressed up and ready to go..

Stopping by from SITS...I'm LDS, too, but sure wish I could sew up something nice for my four girls on their prom. And church prom? What is that? Do tell!
Can't wait to see it!
what a great mom.........she is going to look lovely, can't wait to see everything put together!!!!!
You are a great mom and SO talented. If my Lorelai got in a bind like that she would be completely out of luck. I wasn't even capable of making a decent ghost costume out of a bedsheet when she was little!
Looks like it is going to be so cute. I can't wait to see it finished.
What is church prom?

I can't wait to see the lovely Shelly in a dress of yelly!
