Junior Prom

Last year, I did a small blog entry about my cousin and sister's junior prom. I was really surprised by the amount of hits and request I had received about their dresses. So only to be fair, I'm going to post pictures of my youngest sister's prom dress. After this, it'll most likely be no more prom pictures (since I only have two sisters) or I will post their senior ball pictures along with my cousin Allie. But it really depends on my mood.

Both my sisters really wanted unique, one-of-a-kind dresses that you can't find anywhere, which is why Lena made her own jr. prom dress - with the help of my mother, of course.  Hillarie, on the other hand, isn't so crafty but wanted something that wasn't dark colored or matte and she wanted length, which meant she needed a gown. So this entailed lots of traveling and lots of time wasted on trying on dresses. It took 3 days before prom after many failed attempts of shopping for unique gowns that were tasteless and tacky until my mother finally found the perfect dress... in the back of her closet! 

They should've done that first before they had hit up Jessica McClintock. That store that "yawn-like" dresses, in my opinion.

The dress obviously had to be tailored and formed to fit my sister before her prom day. It was a rather stressful event that I don't want to get into. If you have to know, my sister waited until the last week to search for a dress because she had planned on no longer going the week before prom since she had too much projects and MESA competitions to do on prom day. But it worked out, she left her competition 4 hours early without knowing the end result of her projects, just so she could go to prom.

Enough jabber from my end. Pictures are down below. I'm sleepy but I have to be awake since I'll be going to Reno, NV in a couple of hours. Gosh, they grow up so fast. Lena and Allie are graduating this year! Hillarie is graduating next year! =O
