We sacrificed a bra, cut off the straps, tacked it firmly to the side seams and so it wouldn't peek out the front. It will hook before she zips the dress and provide some support so the dress waon't "fall down" without straps. Hope that helps.jonrock53@mtaonline.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465371545591900894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-27273671307337743492008-04-18T16:19:00.000-04:002008-04-18T16:19:00.000-04:00My oldest daughter made her own prom dress, 3 year...My oldest daughter made her own prom dress, 3 years ago. Her date's mother couldn't get over how absolutely beautiful the dress was, and even told her son, "Lucky will be the man who catches this girl!" My youngest daughter hasn't even mentioned the prom yet, and we are still in the midst of The Great College Search!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-48379372465662236972008-04-15T21:16:00.000-04:002008-04-15T21:16:00.000-04:00LOL.

She is now graduating from college and I promised I'd make her a wardrobe, if she didn't complain about having to stand still for the fittings! She made it through 2 muslins with nary a complaint in site. I am sure that your dd will grow up eventually, but probably not before her prom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-89206238673403209262008-04-13T18:51:00.000-04:002008-04-13T18:51:00.000-04:00That is too funny!!!

I would tell her "Sure, we can limit the fittings if you don't care how it fits!" Is it any wonder in some species mothers kill their young? I'm kidding folks!!!

I think Anne at Gorgeous once did a FBA with Nancy's method and FFRP's method, and they both came out the side. P&S is much easier in my opinion. And just about anything is easier than teenage daughters!Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-12333016152109128172008-04-10T00:22:00.000-04:002008-04-10T00:22:00.000-04:00LOL, yeah.

Two years ago when I made dsd a prom dress that was of her own design ideas, of black silk charmeuse, right up until the morning of prom she was tweaking the design. At noon on the day of prom she asked "Can we just change one more thing?" The answer "No".<BR/>These are memory building times. And yes, the self centeredness rivals a two year old, don't you think?Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-11302797335475691862008-04-09T18:34:00.000-04:002008-04-09T18:34:00.000-04:00Enjoy your daughter, don't worry about her sooo bu...Enjoy your daughter, don't worry about her sooo bussy schedule.
