Another For The...

Another one for the scrapbooks! 

The prom dress is done! 

 Forgive the wrinkles!

Oh and except for ... a teensy bit needs to be trimmed down on one hip seam... and of course pressing, to press out the seams again and because it's wadded up in a sack right now... *we took it to a friends last night where I sewed on the buttons...* 

 

Here is the back of the dress with a paper clip as the top closure. A hook and eye was sewn on later.  Please forgive the red bra again... *truly it's not the only one she owns!*

 The full photos were just after I got it hemmed and just before the buttons got sewn on. 

She stood on the piano bench and I pinned everywhere we wanted the hem.  And of course I guessed wrong.  Minor crisis as she kicked it around after I'd used the scissors on it and said, "It's shorter than I thought it was going to be!"  

AYAYAIIYYAHAIII!

So...  in order to hem and not take much more off, I just serged the hem.  It will not be rolled up, that's just how I roll...

She got her sequins after all, but they're the shoes.  She found some flats that were just a heap of black sequins on each foot.  They look smashing!  Too bad I didn't get a pic of those...  They're so much better than her idea of wearing her dirty Converse tennies under the dress!  Sorry Mabs!  I couldn't let you do that!

Prom is Saturday.  We'll be playing with prom hair tonight!
