Well this young lady is going to her jr. Prom! She was a very pleasant young lady and a joy to work with! She designed her gown. I think it turned out great. She and her mom were very pleased.
I drafted the pattern in Wildginger PMB. The gown is a black stretch sequin from A Fabric Place over a heavy stretch satin purchased from Metro textiles in NY.
It has an invisible in the side seam. The sleeve is underlined in a flesh tone silk organza with a black poly organza sleeve head. I hand sewed a 3" black sequined stretch trim to the cuff and hem of the dress. The black sparkle organza bow/train is detachable and can be used as a shawl/coverup!

| I made the bow tie out of satin (gross grain adjustable neck band), and hand sewed the studs (purchased from M&J Trims). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| The gold sequined and stud covered epaulet is all hand made. I
cut a piece of craft pellon heavy weight in the desired shape and
covered it with satin fabric. I then glued a sequin trim to the top and
sequined trim to the edges. The studs I sewed on were purchased from
M&J trim in NY. |
