Mom's turn: A Princess Again

Christina fell in love with her first vintage gown from her grandma so much so that she wanted to go vintage again for her prom. We found Christina’s prom dress at Time Warp, a beautiful, full length, peach, ‘80’s gown – I couldn’t be more proud having had my prom in the ‘80’s. First step was taking it to Mrs. Chris, our fabulous dress fairy godmother! She can make miracles happen with material…and we weren’t disappointed. She turned it into a perfect gown that Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty would be proud to wear! She changed the straps to make them wider, added more layers and sparkles (that didn't show up well in the pictures) to the skirt, and a corset back to add a modern touch.
So on dance day the first stop on the “getting ready” list is getting nails and toes done. This was provided by her closest friend for a belated sweet 16 gift (on top of a home cooked dinner, a personal mini-birthday cake, and lunch – WOW!). Next would be the hair style. She wanted something different, so she opted for a partial up-do with live flowers in it – picked to match the boutonniere she ordered for her date, of course!

On home for make-up and pictures…about a thousand – “MOOOOOOOOOOOOM.” Okay, well I didn’t get as many pictures as before because I didn’t have a cooperative audience :-/

Daddy was teasing her about being so tall in her high-heels...but he was actually squatting down a little to make it more of a visual impact. Silly - always picking on her!!!

But I managed to get just a few :-D Her grandma’s contribution to this night was the elegant gold cross necklace Teeny received for Christmas a few years ago that finished the outfit. Teeny and her boyfriend decided on LPK, where they met up with a few friends, for their dinner date before the dance. Then on to the dance. This dance was held at Boudreaux’s, a nice wedding reception hall, so it was a bit classier than the first one. They had food, drinks, decorations, and a DJ! Teeny was excited and had a wonderful time!
