Abi was determined to have a custom-made dress for the Aveson Spring Formal - her first formal dance! Aunt Pat got her the fabric she picked out, and after she layed it out and cut the pieces, I sewed it for her.
The afternoon right before the formal, I took her into Shear Magic in Monrovia, the shop where our friend Laura works. She wasn't in, unfortunately, but a lovely lady there made Abi's hair look gorgeous. The finishing touch was a corsage pinned into place made by Aunt Pat.
Abi got several more occasions out of this gown - she went to the Jr. ROTC ball with her friend Aidan, and also wore it to her 8th grade culmination in June!
