Think I Might Win?





I entered my blue open robe Jo Ann's Prom 2010 contest. The top prize is a scholarship, which would be fantastic, seeing as I'm off to college next year! I thought I'd enter it, fully knowing it's not what most people were wearing to prom. Although it is a natiowide contest, not many teenagers sew. Do you ladies think I might have a chance anyway?

My 1790s Chemise Gown and Blue Silk Open Robe







Or, the biggest pain in the rear ever. ever. Who knew it would take so many tries to figure out the draping of the open robe?! That being said, this is one of my favorite gowns, and the flow-y train (which I pinned up for the dance) and the thin chemise gown are just lovely to wear. I'm wearing over it my regency short stays (pics to come) and my regency petticoat. I debated on selling it, but i don't know if I can bear to part with it now! I'll definately be wearing it again, possibly for my senior pictures. :D
