Shantelle found a real pretty dress (sleeveless of course) and some nice fabric and tulle! It was fun shopping with her and watching her decide on the perfect outfit! I needed to sew the dress, add straps and make a jacket to wear over the dress. We ended up finding a cute jacket at Goodwill, so didn't make that. I was a little nervous about making the dress I wanted it to be perfect and for Shantelle to feel like a princess wearing it! I started sewing about two weeks before the dance. There was lots of fabric and tulle and gathering and sewing! I even called my mom a couple of days to double check on things before I sewn them. But as the dress came together, I was happy that it was turning out!
Well, Shantelle LOVED the dress! She looked so pretty and she said she felt like a princess dancing around! We even let her go over to Molly's house to get ready together! What a fun evening! Shantelle said the gym was PACKED! She had a TOTAL BLAST!

It is so nice seeing your children grow up and LOVE going to church activities! In fact, Shantelle said church dances are SO MUCH more fun than school dances it's crazy how different they are! I love the gospel!
