Can’t wait to see your gown!

It looks gorgeous! But I'm just so happy I finally got it together to get one made I can't see straight. Maybe I'll get a "real" ballgown next year... The seamstress sent a big hunk of leftover fabric and some lace that I think I will use to make a headdress. My pearl and amber jewelry will match perfectly. Not so sure about the fan, but I don't care as much about that. Is your gown trained? Mine is, and I didn't think about dancing in it...I guess I can pin it up.
