Me Prattling On: Prom Dresses

Well, we went with Tami to Gilbert to pick out dresses for Danni and Britt. Danni liked the first one she tried on but Britt was not so lucky. No, she liked three that she tried on! And narrowing them down to only one was so hard.

We went to a place where you put $50 down and then they are asking the borrowers to fix the dresses up, 'mormonize' them, or make them modest. If we can't, after we dry clean them, we only get $40 back. We can alter them how we see fit. Love this idea!

Anyway, Britt brought home the dress she decided on and then promptly tried on a dress that she has had hanging around that she borrowed a few months back from a friend. And guess what? She liked that one better! So now I have this dress I am supposed to alter, get dry cleaned, and then take back. I signed a contract and everything!

Then sweet Rylee came over to help Britt decide what to do with her hair. And, great news! She has been asked to prom too! We asked what she was wearing and she said she didn't know yet. And, Ashley inspired me to have her try it on and see if she liked it! (I was writing her at the time so I am giving her credit for my wonderful idea) It fit! She loved it! So now I am going to make her a jacket to go with it, something I was going to do anyway. And then she will get it dry cleaned (I won't have to clean a clean dress!) and I will have met my contract! Yes! She saved my neck! And she got a free dress out of it! So everyone is happy, except I have to sew and my confidence is not what is used to be. Where is Ashley when I need her? (I know, in a better place, doing better things than holding her mama's hand...But I can still wish!)

So, with Cub Scout Day Camp lurking around the corner (the same day as prom), jackets to make for prom (two), ward conference with Kingsborough the day after (still working on Sharing Time) it is proving to be an awesome, busy week! Bring it on!
