My internet friend, Tia has been doing flashback Friday for as long as I have been reading her blog, and it just hit me that I had something to show off from my past that is also sewing related! Since I don’t blog frequently (I’m trying to get better about that!) I think I’m going to do a Flashback Friday on the first Friday of every month… (and yes, I know that last Friday was the first one of July, but I was on vacation OK?)

So with out further ado… I present to you my senior prom dress, which I made, with some help from my mother.

The photos are a bit blurry, my friend’s dad took them, but you can get the idea anyway.

The white part at the bottom was about 15 yards of fabric, meticulously gathered and gathered and gathered and gathered… but, it wasn’t too heavy, so it worked out. (Also, ohmygoodness, I was skinny then… *sigh*)

Here’s a close-up from the actual dance… I looked sooo different then. If you don’t believe me, here’s a recent picture of me.

So, there is my first flashback Friday. Here is what Tia says about it at the end of her posts:

If you’re new to Flashback Friday, don’t be shy! Heres how we do it-

Grab an old photo (or if you’re like me, a bazillion), write a little bit about it, and link up! We love love love to invade your personal Polaroid history, so don’t be shy, post your photo, and expect a lot of comments starting with “awwwwww”. Unless its a sad post, and then… well those might start with “awww” too. I swear, most weeks I cry at half of your flashbacks (I know, I’m pregnant, so-). Anyways- (please please) don’t forget to either text link back to this post, or grab one of our buttons from down below.

So do it, why don’t you?!
