Cinderella goes to the Ball



So I finished the dress in time--thank goodness for the machine blind hem function because that was a very full skirt. Cinderella went to the prom and a good time was had by all.

How sweet. Thanks for jerking the memory of making my stepdaughter's prom dress. That is one verrrrry ultra cool retro dress.
