Kelly went to prom with Devin, a friend she met at EFY.
Several months ago, she was looking online all over the place, for a modest formal.
She couldn't find one that looked right, and one night woke up with a picture of the right dress in her mind, made from an 80's wedding dress she happened to have.
So, she went to work.
She took the dress completely apart, took off the tulle on the chest area, removed the sleeves, redesigned the sleeves, used part of the remaining sleeves for triangles on the back of the dress (it was too plunging of a back for her), took off the zipper, and had me put it back in.
The sleeves and fill-in triangles on the back looked like they were meant to be there, and the dress looked like it was designed that way.
She found some gray chiffon and sewed pearls around the waist.
Kelly stunned everyone with her elegant creation and had a fun time at Prom!
Don't mind the black straps underneath.
She ended up not embellishing with the black feather.
Kelly had the florist (shout out to Apple Blossom Floral!!!) incorporate some of the left over lace in her corsage.
It was perfect!!
