The Prom Dress Fiasco
Wow! After a very stressful day my daughter looks stunning.
Today is prom day and the dress she designed and wanted to make was not finished; it needed flowers to be sewn to the train and the lace skirt trimmed to the correct length at the front.
I had to work in the morning and half way through I got a panicky phone call - It had all gone wrong. The front of the dress was ruined and the lace was all cut wrong. I suggested added in the scalloped edged of the lace to hem at the front of the dress then no-one would know that anything had gone wrong. She was distraught, so I said that she was to leave it until I got home and I would fix it - no problem.
I left work and arrived home at 1.30pm. There were three and a half hours to go before she had to go for prom photos. I carried out my suggestion and the remaining flowers were sewn to the front and all was finished with half an hour to spare to do her nails.
Here is the dress....
In the morning she was talking of not going because everything went wrong, but thanks to mum's rescue plan, it all came out right and she had a great time.
