Magical Dress

I knew I wanted my prom dress to be special. So, I sent a handwritten letter to Warner Brothers and explained that I wanted to have a gown made like the one in My Fair Lady. To my excitement, they sent me a pattern! My mother sewed the dress and I beaded it. Everyday I would come home from school and work on it. It took me 3 months to finish it. I kept the dress. Many little girls have played with it through the years. The beads tarnished long ago, but, the memory of My Magical Dress is still vivid after 45yrs!

Love your story. I love all the pictures you added, especially adding the picture of Audrey Hepburn so you can see the amazing job that was done to re-create it.

Really??? OMG that is so, so cool, that they mailed you the pattern, and not only did you make the original dress from that classic movie, but you still have the dress after all of these years! The fact that you and hubs were high school sweethearts, and are still together...Wow, that is a true love story, and so sweet that you have photos of the 2 of you then. Such a well thoughtout LO too, with the photos of both you and Audrey Hepburn in the same dress, and love the page design. Perfect kit choice to put your LO together too, with the sequence and balloons, and the hanging clock is a perfect touch. Beautiful LO and love the journaling....very special indeed!
