Haha, as I was telling Miss March, I only ever have dances because my church has them every couple of months and I called this a ball because it sounds better, while it was, in reality, not much like my idea of a ball. :)Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124714551912774373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-63649830006205688222016-04-19T02:24:54.105-06:002016-04-19T02:24:54.105-06:00Very pretty, Rae!! :-) I WISH I HAD BALLS.Very pretty, Rae!! :-) I WISH I HAD BALLS.Naomi Pittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932777444665441104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-78145146478599264002016-04-12T06:33:26.054-06:002016-04-12T06:33:26.054-06:00Oh my goodness, thank you so much!

Yes, it was quite all right...Thank you so much! :) <br />Yes, it was quite all right. I was soon reconciled especially when I remembered Lizzy! <br />Well, here's what happened. (You asked. I'm sorry.) They scheduled a youth Temple trip for the same day, and our temple is 5 hours away. We thought the session would be over by 2:30 and then it would only take 4 hours to get to the place where the ball was, it being closer than our house. We thought we could get there by 6:30 so I could do my hair there. Of course, we were running late so we got to the Stake Center around 7:20 instead, and when I saw that that was going to happen, I just decided to do my hair in the car. Fortunately I've had practise, so I just did it in a braided up-do, which turned out pretty nice. There. :) (Oh, and that tale also explains why I did pictures not actually the day of Prom. No time.)Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124714551912774373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-88978124383774276882016-04-11T17:02:37.062-06:002016-04-11T17:02:37.062-06:00It's lovely!

It certainly looks Disney worth. :D And I mean, you made it! So that in and of itself is spectacular!! I would never do as well. And you were able to make changes and such. That's awesome! <br /><br />I'm sorry you didn't have as many partners as you might have wished. :P But as you said, neither did Lizzy and that turned out alright. (Haha, more than alright I would say.) <br /><br />I'm constantly having delusions of grandeur about my hair, too and then--me happens. ;P What's your tale? <br /><br />~CordyCordyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180298174546552067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-80026847676657446272016-04-11T16:03:42.783-06:002016-04-11T16:03:42.783-06:00Thank you!

I have made several dresses and I made my Mormon Prom dress last year, so I was felt pretty confident--but as I said in my post, I had to re-do the bodice. :) Thanks for your comment!Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124714551912774373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-51439626447872076512016-04-11T15:56:27.156-06:002016-04-11T15:56:27.156-06:00I love your dress. I was planning to make my dress...I love your dress. I was planning to make my dress for Mormon Prom this year, but I then I ended up not having time (and I wasn't entirely sure I knew quite that much about sewing to make a prom dress, even though I've made simpler things before.)<br />I like how you did your hair too. :)Ruth Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11046346418088142130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-19983342637501169092016-04-11T09:31:12.782-06:002016-04-11T09:31:12.782-06:00Why, thank you, Miss March!

Fortunately they do a formal dance, called "Mormon Prom" every year, so I get my one excuse to sew a fancy dress and make myself beautiful! <br />Haha, thank you for your sympathy. It really was comforting to think that Elizabeth Bennet was the same way. It reminded me of Anne, too, and how she reminds herself of things like, "my life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes" to comfort herself. :) I mentioned that part of P&P to my friend, who has also read it, but she did not find it as comforting as I did. Haha.<br />Thanks for your comment!Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124714551912774373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553667225140116078.post-41061159910045873442016-04-11T09:20:21.514-06:002016-04-11T09:20:21.514-06:00A ball!!

Thanks for sharing pictures. :) <br /><br />I'm sorry you didn't get loads of partners (that probably would have been my luck, too) but I'm so glad you had three nice ones, and that you were able to comfort yourself with thoughts of Elizabeth Bennet. Books really are very helpful things, aren't they? :)Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.com
