Description
I went on a leadership conference with my school recently and I made this dress for the awards dinner that the sponsor was hosting. It took about 3 days to make. It’s supposed to be lined but I didn’t like the way it felt so I lfet the lining out. It’s commonly called a mermaid dress or trumpet dress.

Aw come on! Am I the only one here who’s totally envious of both the dress and drflen’s figure? And by the way, it takes great confidence to wear this beautifull piece and be the complete and utter center of attention: wow!
