Princess Lauren









Princess Lauren

What a wonderful word for a little girl named Lauren. All little girls want to be a princess. They want the wand the tiara and of course the princess dress. My granddaughter favorite color right now is purple. I think next year I will make her a purple princess dress. So I thought. My son called me and told me that she is having a princess birthday party. And of course he wanted to know if i could make her dress. I was very hesitant because I never made a little girls glamour dress. I said to him ok let me think about it. Then he drop the bomb. He said "can you let me know soon so I will know If I have to order it." I said "ok I will." I thought and thought and I thought about every bit of 2 minutes thy thought were

"What the heck. I can't let nobody else make my grand baby princess dress and this is her first one too. How hard could it be? Surely not that hard. I have done glamour before this will be just a scaled down version. I can do this yes I can."

And it was done
I decided to make a hot pink instead of her favorite color purple. Who knows that may be here favorite color after she see it.

It was make out of the tulle and a satin material. I decided to put beads on the bodice I think she will like that. I wanted to make it sparkle so I added the long sequin hanging down from the seams of the bodice and the skirt. That put a little sparkle there. But my grand baby and I love bling bling. She must have got that from me ;). So since that was not enough bling for me I decide to make the dress a 2 pc. I made a apron out of sheer organza with sparkles on it. I could be wrong about the material. But it has a lot of sparkles on it. It was just right. (It sounds like I am telling the story of the three bears.) but anyways I know that she is gonna love that dress because she thinks that she is Princess Lauren
