Daddy Daughter Dance







So the dress turned out nice my daughter was so happy! This was so fun to make, using my daughter as a dress form, no pattern. I felt like I was on Project Runway: Your challenge is to remake a dress seen in a still shoot from a video and please a preteen girl! I lucked out with my youngest and a pink spring dress that I saved from her sister. But with my oldest turning 11 it was so hard finding something either of us liked at the store. It was all too young looking or too grown up. As she was watching tv one day a Selena Gomez video came on and she wanted her dress. After looking at the dress I decided I could do it but we needed to change the fabric and length for spring and we came up with colors. I added a picture of the inspiration and actual dress.
