Yvonne - you have done a wonderful job. I love the colour and the simplicity of the design. Well done my friend. Hugs Sarah.
I would love to see the bottom of the dress as it looks as if it is ruched.
Thanks Sarah. Well the wind was blowing and I was standing at the wrong angel when taking the photo. As you can see the dress was blown up on the brick work at the back of her. I do not take the best of pictures. Hugs Yvonne
Nice job!! Love the color!! When my daughter was in college , I did her sorority formal dresses. Saved a fortune!!!
Thanks Kay. I bought the fabric that she wanted and made the dress as a gift for her. Also bought her shoes. Hugs Yvonne
Such a pretty jewel tone color. You did a really nice job sewing her prom dress.
Yvonne you did a great job. My GD favourite colour too. Marg
I like the matching hankie and the dress is preety.
They make a lovely couple.
Beautiful and the dress is stunning. Excellent work for both of you. LLDS! christine PS don't they look so grown up!
What a beauty she is and a stunning couple they make - this dress is wonderful and so happy to hear that you learned a new technique - you are always so professional Yvonne, that I assumed you new how to do everything with a machine - sewing, embroidery and serging - all of it. Great photo's!
Thanks Shirlene.
Yes I do a lot of sewing, but my way, I have made lots of things without a pattern.
Fiona does dress making and she is teaching me to work from patterns. She is a great teacher.
Now she has a full time job and we don't have much time together.
Hugs Yvonne
Great job Yvonne. It's a lovely dress and she looks great in it. It's a pretty color too.
Lovely young people and they both look so elegant. Love her dress.
You did a great job! I hope they appreciate all the work.... That took some time! :)

Thanks so much. She was thrilled when I asked her if I could make her dress. She could not believe that I was going to make it as gift for her. I then also bought her the silver shoes/sandals.
Kaycee and my sister(Cheryl) could not thank me enough last night again. So yes I think she did appreciate all the work put into it. Hugs Yvonne
This is gorgeous Yvonne and this colour is all the rage. Well done for having a go and doing it from a pattern. It's fiddly work, but well worth the effort.
Love and blessings Chris
P.S. I'm making a gorgeous little dress for Ophelie at the moment, will post it before the end of the week.
Looks beautiful and what a none traditional color! Rarely see green in prom dresses. Good for you both in chosing something different!!
