So as I was looking at this, I remembered that not only did I make my dress, but I made my handbag as well. I also did my own hair and makeup and manicure. My date wore his band tux (hee hee) and drove his parents' car.
Not that it's all that fantastic, but it got me thinking. I do a lot of alterations for prom dresses these days, and I see the kind of money these girls (or rather, their parents!) are spending on prom. And it blows me away! I guess I've always been a DIY type of gal.
Anyway, it's a lesson for you ladies out there- a fun evening can be had for less than $200 if you are resourceful!

So adorable. You look darling and haven't changed one bit. Maybe a little with the hair...but I love it. You are so incredibly talented.
My mom and I worked together to make my prom dress, too. Mine was regrettably teal.
Nice! So I wasn't the only one; what a relief!
