Emilie's Prom Dress

When asked to make a prom dress for my friends sister of course I said yes! I set myself the challenge of making the dress to her design specifications entirely from reclaimed materials. I used an old purple dress of mine, a large silk chiffon scarf that was my Mums and never worn combined with my fabric box remnants and some gold lace pinched from another dress. We had a fitting last week (she loves it!)so I thought i'd put a few images together of the process of making and the journey so far...and two weeks later...Emilie will go to the prom!!!
