LDS Prom

I know it has been a long time since we have updated but its been a little crazy. Today was the last day of school for us though so we will be posting again :)

LDS prom was held on May 3rd which Emily and I attended. Finding a modest dress was a long and difficult process but I'm going to tell you what I did to hopefully help you out for the next time you go to a formal dance.
Here we go!

 

Before Prom

 

Me, Ellen, Sara, and Emily.

 

The dress: A friend of mine who is in college now actually gave me the dress she wore for her junior prom... and that dress was given to her by someone in her ward. A good way to start is to ask around (or on Facebook, which I did). You may not have to spend much, if anything that way. The dress was modest already but it was about two sizes too big for me. I ended up taking it to a local alterations place and got it taken in to fit me better. Afterwards, I realized that it was going to be too low in the front and we couldn't tighten it anymore on the sides. We used three different methods to fix this problem.
       1. Fold the front over itself and sew (I tried to upload pictures of it but it didn't work. Basically, kind of scrunch it together and sew a line straight down). This made it look a little odd so...
       2. My mom had found some sandals at a garage sale a while back and she took the top decorative part off. She made a headband with one and the other we sewed to my dress to cover the stitches.
       3. I found a black camisole at Target that had lace on the top and came up high enough to solve my problem.
