    I wish I could sew like this...

    ... or at least the lace bolero I want to go with the dress!

    Balklänning.jpg

    DH, my best friend and I have been invited to go to a ball, hosted by (among others) my other best friend's husband. I haven't been to one since the last year of senior high school! The great thing is, I went to the last one with the same two girls I'm going to this one with - some 20 yrs later. How awesome is that?!? As for partner, I've upgraded since.

    Apparantly taffeta dresses are all the rage now and have been for the last few years. I've seen them on the young students graduating high school. Call me old school, but I prefer the classic dresses! So that's what I got! I went for a fitting today and will pick up the (somewhat altered) dress and hopefully a black lace bolero to go with it in a week or so. DH has rented a tail coat and will be verrrrrry handsome, I'm told.

    PS. How can you tell that's me in the pic? Look at the owls.

          Oh that red dress is stunning.

          You will have so much fun!

          And you are right, a black lace bolero would be perfect to that dress.

          Have fun!

          God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
          The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
          A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
          And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

            Stunning, just stunning... I made my DD's dresses for her prom years ago,,, she would desing them and I'd make them... she was not the "standard twig size" that all her friends were and so not the "pastel ruffle type".. some of the most fun I ever had... I should look up the pictures and post them.. those were some very proud Momma days for me...
