My middle daughter came to me an hour before we were leaving for her Commencement Ceremonies asking me "could I please alter this dress", that I made for my oldest daughter last year....... to fit her.
Lucky for me the boned bodice did not need any alterations.......I used a McCall's pattern 5850.
The hem needed 4 inches added but I did not have the same skirt fabric so she picked out this pink silky fabric from my stash to match the pink inside of the dress.
I know it seems easy just add a hem but when you are under pressure with your daughter standing there saying "come on Mom its like your on Project Runway".....not even close I tell her!
The front..........
The skirt part of the dress was my own design & I added the neon purple zipper. I quickly added the back skirt vent.........not too bad for an hour of rush sewing.

You can't go wrong with pink and black fabric! Way to go for doing this one hour before graduation! A mother's job never ends :) Thanks for stopping by today! I'm glad you're still sewing. I loved seeing all the stuff you made this past winter and fall. Keep it up!!

Hi again, dear friend! I came to say hello and wish you a great weekend.
Very nice combination of colors and very good proportions in this simple dress. I also like the zipper in the back:-)
Oh my gosh I can't believe you made that dress!!! Such talent! Wow, and how special that made your big graduation day too!
