Suzette's prom dress

I made all of Suzette's dresses for many years, including her first Prom dress and her Wedding dress.

We would go shopping (i.e. looking) at dresses, when she found something she liked, I would buy fabric, a pattern, then cut and sew. One I remember had a couple of flowers on one side of the skirt. I copied it by making the flowers out of ric-rac and embroidering the leaves and stem.

Her first prom dress was a beautiful blue background with a white design all over it. It was nearly done when she broke the date and accepted another boys invitation. I didn't approve, so I sat up that night, crying and ripping out the seams.

I repented the next day or so and sewed it back together again. My daughter, as usual, was beautiful in her prom dress.
