They're finally done!!!!! We had a little more than a month to make these dresses before the dance one Oct 4th. Ms. Kari was nice enough to come and help us even though we were totally not ready for making a whole dress. With only the fabric we got on sale about a year ago in the states, a zipper, matching thread and a sewing machine as old as I am, we got to work!We started with ideas, we drew what we wanted and got a rough idea of what we were in for. Then we went to a wonderful secret fabric shop that Kari knew of and got patterns that closely resembled our ideas. Laurens was exactly what she wanted but I had to alter mine a lot to get the ruching on the bodice and the two tiered skirt.
Of course, we were busy with guitar and violin lessons and part time schooling and homeschooling. We barely made it on time. We didn't get to go to the homecoming game because we were still making alterations. (But that's okay because later I heard we lost. Can you believe we lost our homecoming game???) These dresses are our blood, sweat and tears (with Lauren around, that's literally true! jk)
