I think I really just discovered that I am a truly talented woman!
I was surfing, (What a surprise, right?) and discovered a models’ fashion page. Perusing through the beautiful clothing, I glanced at the the prices and “Whoaaa Baby!”
I found a dress very similar to the prom dress I made for Alyssa. I used black bridal satin (on sale) and hand-made each rose (16 hours). It was tailored to her body thus a perfect fit. Compare the two…
Why exactly is Donna Karan able to sell that dress for $2,595.00? I think I picked the wrong profession! On top of that, why didn’t my mother do the same thing as Donna Karan?!
I’m just blown away.
As I continued in disbelief, I found a dress I made for my Barbie when I was seven years old. Note the price and don’t faint.
Okay, I’ll admit. It wasn’t exactly like that, but you remember wrapping the Barbie with material and it looking something similar.
All of the following are really “my style” so hopefully you will enjoy them too.
was just my style until I saw the back…
No, no, no – That part of my body does not see the light of day :o)
Why exactly is it that I don’t have time to sew any more?
Oh yeah, that’s right. I’m blogging!

The dress you made is outstanding!
The dress you made is beautiful. You could make some serious moola with those skills!
Holy cow woman! I think you did miss your calling. What a beautiful dress! And yes, I get the, "that part of my body not seeing the light of day" thing. LOL
You are very talented. I don't know if you watch Project Runway. We decided to watch one season because my daughter is in to fashion. They had one fella on there with no "formal" training who did exceptionally well. All the way to the top 5. Maybe you could go on a show like that. I think you're talented enough. 🙂
Wow that dress is so nice that you made…the model is beautiful too! My mom used to sew alot, but not she is too into quilting.
Exquisite design! Love the presentation. Hey BTW thanks for your nice suggestion and review of my site. I shall try to add pictures and perhaps you can visit after a while and have a look again. Thanks.
Thank you! Now I know exactly what to do with those half-finished knitting projects of mine. I'm just going to wear them needles and all:)
I love seeing the prom dress you made for Alyssa. It's so much more beautiful than the mass-manufactured stuff you see in dept. stores (not to mention more than one girl is always wearing the same dress at the dance, LOL!). Maybe you can tie in your talent for sewing into your blogging. I'd buy something!
That dress you made is sensational. Love the handmade flowers, too. You are clearly very talented!
Alyssa's dress is beautiful! I made my daughters dresses as well, it always made me feel good when I made one that she liked and wore! I liked most of the styles, except no way, unless it's Halloween, would I wear the knitted dress with the hands!
I love sewing but the Army contracted movers smashed my beloved machine and wouldn't replace it! And I haven't either.
Great job on the prom dress!! Gorgeous!
What the-knit dress?? Creepy!
I can't believe people actually pay these prices for a dress.
Wow, wow, wow! I can barely sew on a button, so I am IN AWE. The pictures are gorgeous, too.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Looking forward to reading more of yours!
