You know how you will do anything for your kids??? If you won the lottery, you promise they can have anything they want? okay, maybe not everything…LOL!!
I have always loved to dress my little girlies up in beautiful dresses and finery. And I've sewn a lot of dresses in my day…well, little girlie dresses that could withstand my "not-so-precise" seamstress abilities!!
And Cora, my darling oldest, has always been patient with me…that is, until she became a teenager.
There was that year where I announced to the family "time to pick out the matching Easter Dress fabric!" and Cora told me flat out NO!! She wasn't wearing matching dresses with me (or her sisters) anymore.
She was pretty emphatic…
{Cora very young at a Tea Party!}
Fast forward to this year…
She went shopping a GOB to find a dress for her Senior Gala (prom). This was supposed to be the year where she was Cinderella at the Ball! But where was her gown????
She already had the shoes…
{note the shoes…so awesomely Cinderella-ish!!}
She had the Prince…
{they look so distinguished here…a little, anyway! LOL!!}
…but she didn't have the dress…
So I promised her that if we looked at all of the "cool" resale shops and she didn't find anything, we could run to Joann's and look for a pattern and I would "attempt" to make it…
well…
after 2 weeks of "deer in headlights", a great phone call from my sister telling me all the great tips about sewing satin, and 4 days of straight sewing minus an hour here or there (seriously…only an hour here or there!!!)…
…it was created!! Yep, I was the fairy godmother…
and my darling daughter who didn't like matching dresses made by momma, stepped into her fairyland dream Gala with her prince (who btw, is wearing a matching bowtie made by yours truly!! love the Martha Stewart Bowtie tute!!), and she was wearing her gown…
and without further ado…
I love how in this pic you can see the back with the little rhinestone thingamabobs on her bodice!!
They were with such a gorgeous group of kids!! (yep, that makes me feel old…just sayin'…)
There is a rhinestone thingamabob at every tuck in the skirt…
I had to take a couple of artsy photos…
and then the guys…
and the girlies…
*sigh* I love this wild ride I'm on with my first senior!!!
Here's a fun shot of Cora tying Nathan's bowtie…she is the expert!
Just one of the many milestones I will enjoy this spring with my graduating senior!!

Love, love, love the dress. My daughters are now in their early forties, shhh, I made all their prom and formal dresses. I worked full time, but I’d take a week off from work and sew. The neatest thing was that no one else ever had the same dresses as they did.
love those colors!

This is a gorgeous bundle! I’d love to win this as I’d be able to make a quilt to go in my living room which is Teal and Copper. Your daughter looked stunning. I wish I’d had a prom but we didn’t have them in the UK when I left school… (17 years ago, shhh!)
What an amazing dress, and lucky daughter to have a mom like you to make it for her! Great photos, too. Definitely a night for all of you to remember.
You are just a terrific mom!
I follow you on FB, But as I read your story, I knew how you felt.. I raised 4 boys, my Doug is getting married and I am the Wedding Planner, I want the bride to look gorgeous. My sons Sr prom he was decked out but the girl showed up not looking like a Princess but a hooker.. Anyway,Have fun, I have 2 new Granddaughters and I love dresses them up.
I love the Intrepid threads color choice, I am saving up oranges and teals, aquas to do a quilt and this would be a good one to have.
Lovely dress! and what a fabulous bundle in honor of it–thanks Julie!
What a fantastic dress! My mother made my prom dress too….26 years ago!
What a delightful post. It takes me back to my own children’s proms. The dress turned out beautifully and she does look very Cinderella-ish.
Ok, reading this made me cry. don’t know why! Sniffle. That was such a grand project to tackle, it would’ve terrified me, but she looked wonderful! Thank you very much for the giveaway.
gorgeous dress! Senior year was awesome! Enjoy it all.
I follow you on Facebook.
I am also following you on twitter! At the same time I realize I was probably sniffly before because my mother was going to teach me to sew but she never had time to teach me let alone sew anything for me after I turned about 9. I imagine prom will be so much more memorable for your daughter for the rest of her life with that lovely gown made by YOU!
That brings back memories of my own send-off of my dear sweet girl growing up. There was a smile on my face and a tear in my eyes that day. Sniff, thanks for the memory.
What an impressive and complex dress! It’s beautiful! Loving the teal bundle too!
Love the dress! It’s so nice to see our kids dressed up so nicely.
Oh, my, you made that dress??!! Wowza!! I hope your daughter was extremely grateful. I love the colors in the bundle.
You did a great job on the dress! That *does* look like miles and miles of satin. 😀
This is the best story behind a giveaway I have ever read! The gown is just amazing – what a mom!!
Wow! That dress is absolutely gorgeous! You did a fantastic job. I wish I could sew something that beautiful. Maybe if I win this fabric I will get a chance 😉

And the fabrics are great. I love that color.
she looks beautiful! hope she had fun! thanks for the chance!
A princess indeed! She looks lovely, and the dress is amazing. I wonder if you’ve even begun to recover yet? It’s also fun to see the guys in thier elegant tuxes, instead of the daily outfit of jeans and tees. They’re all grown up, yet still so young.
My daughter was a senior last year, and it is the most hectic, amazing, emotional, pride-inducing time! Your daughter looks beautiful in her amazing gown. Best of luck to her (and all of you), and thanks for the chance to win!!

Great pictures. Love the dress. So sweet. Gosh. My boy is going to be there before I know it.
Great job working with satin – I’ve sewn satin before and after a while I felt I was talking like a sailor and am not even going to go into what I wanted to do with the machine and fabric but it finally worked out. Your daughter looks like a princess with her prince. Thanks for the giveaway.

Reminds me of my own senior college dance – my dress was royal blue made by my mom’s friend’s mom (satin). The juniors were having their dance the next week. This girl who thought she was all that had the exact same dress in a light green — for the junior dance. She was none too happy when she saw mine the week before. Now why did that seem so important then? Today we’d be flattered someone had the same taste!

Gorgeous dress! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
That dress came out beautiful!! I love the bottom especially!! The way the layers are, simply outstanding!!
Wow! That is an amazing dress. You are very brave…and your DD is lovely!
OMGosh the dress is beautiful as is your daughter. Relish each moment of your time with her from now and through summer. It is a time of memories you don’t want to miss out on. I had so much fun with me boys at this age. Yikes, we were probably more friends then mom and kids. We really liked each other and that makes a huge difference. Love is love and is always there but if a son or daughter “likes” the mom, the rewards are endless. Happy time to you !!!!

Looking at your pictures, great job on the dress by the way, it reminds me of my Junior prom and how hard my mom worked to make my dress.

Oh what fun with your oldest daughter. She’s adorable and you did a great job on the dress. Congrats. I bet you had to hold back the tears and if not for that dance, you will at graduation! Yep. I can almost promise that. I’ve been through that now with all three of my boys and it’s so hard to realize that graduation means they are growing up and are about to leave the nest. Good luck Momma!
I SO need that fabric. My *almost* DIL LOVES turquoise/teal and I need to make her something, hopefully a nice lap quilt or purse. That fabric would be just perfect along with some pink, her other favorite color.
Beautiful dress – beautiful daughter – talented mother.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway stop and to the intrepid thread for the prize.
Lindo post,obrigada por compartilhar.Me fez lembrar de quantas dúvidas e reclamações com minha tia,por conta de um vestido de baile,eu sabia o que eu queria,mas não sabia passar a ideia,e tia mandou comprar o sapato primeiro.E depois as bijouterias,ter ou não chapéu etc..E o vestido?Até hoje não foi feito.Na época aluguei,era o mais bonito e primeiro aluguel…mas as fotos só não foram rasgadas por consideração a turma e o dinheiro gasto em uma única foto por aluno,uma pequena fortuna.Graças a DEUS o vestido de sua filha ficou maravilhoso.Diga a para sua filha que ela tem uma mãe artista.Um grande abraço e JESUS te abençoe.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com

What a beautiful job you did on her dress! This takes me back, my Mom made all of me & my sisters prom dresses, and formals for Rainbow Girls too. It is one of my fondest memories. So when it came time to get married, I found the most gorgeous dress-and yes-my Mom crocheted it for me.
