I was asked to make this dress and was given this picture and here are the results. The Yellow dress has feather on the bottom and I found something else that I thought gives the same look. Taylor loved the dress. I used fishing line to make the wavy look in the ruffles, can believe she wore converse shoes with the dress? what is up with these kids? Thanks for letting me share.

Great job Sue - aren't kids funny - wearing that sort of shoe - well I do have to say - they must be much more comfortable than the high heels that she could have worn. She looks adorable and the technique of using the finshing line to make that wavy look is amazing. *4U

Great job! She looks adorable, shoes and all. 15 years ago my older son wore a dress to homecoming 2 years in a row! So did his friend and their girlfriends wore pants and ties and jackets! My younger son refused to carry on the tradition!

great job!!! I remember the Converse tennis shoes from the 1950's. These kids think they have something new. At least she should have wore pink ones. Ha! Ha! I remember when I was in college, the boys would wear a formal jacket, shirt and tie. Then they would put a pair of madras plaid shorts and tennis shoes. Each generation expresses their rebellion. They just will look back some day and laugh. Kay

the material is that bff by Lauren Hancock it had just enough stretch to make it fit like a glove. we did pin it to her bar so she would not keep pulling at it, and too short I thought I told she had to get the cheerleader pants they were under their skirts and she did. thank you! Sue

You did a beautiful job on the dress. Flip-flops and converse sneakers seem to be the thing lately. I was shocked when I saw sneakers in the window of a tux shop last spring. Go figure!
