What an amazing daughter. In this day and age to not follow along, she's a leader for sure. How wonderful that she helped make the dress. I like the sound of her music.

She has been one to go against the crowd since she was little as she has always seen that there are benefits to not being the same as others. Such a rare quality in her generation

253107The dress is gorgeous and so is the cat! This may be too nosy, but, it would be nice to meet the girl who chose to wear such a beautiful garment? Anyway, thanks for showing this as embellishing is what I love about sewing!

Thanks. That is just what my daughter said. It seems a shame to do all that work for just one night

Thanks Kim. She had a fabulous night. I think our kitty was planning an escape under the dress, but he didn't succeed!

Thabk you. She looks beautiful in it and seeing her face first time she saw herself in the mirror with everything done was so worth it!
66506What a gorgeous ball gown! She would have looked like a princess compared to the other girls in their straight, slinky dresses!
You have done a wonderful job of it, you should feel very proud!

Thanks. My daughter has always preferred to not look like anyone else since she was very little and this time was no different
12423So so gorgeous. No wonder she felt like a princess. This was so much work. I am glad your daughter appreciates what you did.
109762I think it's gorgeous! It fit her very well. I am glad to know she is confident and not let the opinions/styles of the masses, sway her decision to wear what she wanted. I bet she felt like a real Cinderella going to the ball. Did you make all the lace for the bodice on your emb machine?

Thanks so much. I would have made the lace and even bought enough thread to do so just in case but my DD didn't decide she wanted lace over the top until quite late, I had this lace in my stash that I bought for half price ages ago and it was perfect so I decided not to stress myself out making lace too.

It doesn't matter that you didn't make the lace yourself. Isn't it great to have bought something on sale and it's the perfect thing when you need it. I have similar reasons for my stash-lol
I also have to ask, do you live by this beautiful view of the water? If so, you are one lucky lady!
