Katie's prom dress sketch

So as I just posted in today's Happy, I get to make Katie's prom dress. I've really got to get cracking, as prom is May 7th, so once I post this I'll probably go hit a fabric store. The dress will be dark blue, with silver accents. I'll probably get something silky for it. Very much inspired by 300, as I'm sure you'll be able to tell.

That's so pretty Lisabeth and I love the colour choices! And sooo much better to have a unique one-off dress!

Has she seen the design?

She danced around when I showed it to her, thrilled that she was going so that I could make her this dress. She's glad it's not poofy, and not toooooo girly, though I think it's the epitome of feminine. Maybe that's just me, though? Dunno.

Wow! You have alot more patience than me. After I made a friend a silk wedding dress I vowed never, never again!

that reminds me of something that Calpurnia would wear in Julius Caesar...I love it=]

I agree!

She wanted something soft, and the weather's getting warmer so I figured satin over a knit or a cotton because it would hang better, and look more prom-like. I don't much care for silky material, but when your anti-social little sister agrees to go to prom just so you could make her dress, what do you do? I just couldn't say no to that.

Love love love it! Can't wait to see the finished product!

that is gorgeous!
not really my style but still stunning!

That is so cool, Lisabeth! Can't wait to see it done

OMG that is freaking gorgeous. Cannot WAIT to see it finished. I think it's super feminine, but not girly...it's not all barbie. It's unique and gorgeous.

Your sister is a very lucky girl.

She's prancing around in it now, waiting for Kendall to get here. Unfortunately, we're going to get rain and storms tonight, so she'll have to enter and exit in a black trench coat to avoid water spots(stupid satin!), but she looks like she's having a lot of fun.

Oh my gosh, its so beautiful! You did a fantastic job, Lisbeth.

Thanks, Kayla! Doesn't she just look so thrilled?

Terribly thrilled, I must say I'm sure she appreciates it though.

Yeah, she just wasn't looking forward to the hair and makeup bit. We got a picture of her doing a 300 'This is Sparta!' kick at me, which I'll be posting soon.

thats really stunning lisbeth! well done you!

now go do this professionally!

Hee, yes ma'am!

really! not kidding missy! get on with it

i want one of those fancy wrappy tiey dresses you posted before

Hahaha...at first I thought she was just going like that. You'll have to post pics of after her hair and makeup is done too.
It really turned out beautifully!

Kiki, what color would you like for your infinity dress?
