Whenever we have a special occasion, Mum makes our outfit. I say outfit because my oldest sister wore a sparkly vest and pants to her grade 6 graduation. Grade 6 and year 12 graduations, a deb dress, and year 12 formal dresses are the BIG occasions that we've had specially designed, mum-made dresses for. Here's some of mine:
My year 12 formal dress: I designed it months in advance, mum made it the week before my formal and was doing the sequining the day of, sitting in the car while I was getting my hair and make up done. I felt like a princess in the final result. The satin was amazing, it was like a waterfall when I walked (I took extra dramatic steps that night, just to show off the movement in it), it was floor length, even in my giant heels I was wearing, and, most imporantly, NO ONE was wearing anything like it, and I had heaps of compliments on it, and the girls in my year marveled when I told them of its origins :)

| The Back: the cross panel was hiding my bra strap, but was sequined to make up for it :) |
 |
| The Front: Was a mash-up of a few patterns, due to my tricky shape to tailor to. The sequining went right around, front to back |
 |
| The (amazing, floor length, waterfall) Skirt: Was actually just 4 panels. Simple yet effective. |
 |
The Back Again: the sequining made it even more fantastic.
