Similies and metaphors can not adequately describe the monumental event tonight. Alyssa, the lustrous pearl of my life, was accompanied by her date, Cori, to the prom downtown. Donned in a gown of cool black satin and flowing, silky chiffon, Alyssa was breathtakingly beautiful.
It all started with a pattern.
Notions, fabric and pins EVERYWHERE and it ended up looking like a mess.
By the time I was finished, there was also a HUGE mess on the floor. So many black threads!!!!
Alyssa’s eyelashes look perfect. I don’t know how she can make the eyeliner line so straight.
The boutonnière and the corsage were made by Cori’s mother, Heidi.
I love the purple fabric and the beautiful boutonnière
Do you see Alyssa’s reflection in the car window?
My little girl has grown into a beautiful young woman.

Oh my gosh, I followed you over from Alicia's because I was curious about the roses. The dress, the kids, the photos, fabulous! I am so impressed! Thank you for sharing.
(Oh and I have a redheaded son and a red headed granddaughter, how could I not take a peek at a redhead riter!)

AWWH! The dress looks absolutely lovely! I love it! (Coming from a teenage girl!) I wonder how much hard work it would have taken!!! Nice job!??

I had to revisit this post because prom is my favorite time of year (I used to run a prom dress project in my last hometown). I love to look at prom pics. Alyssa is breathtaking and you did a fabulous job on the dress!
