MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

So I actually succeeded in sewing a knock-off without a pattern! My daughter was thrilled with her custom fit gown that didn't look like a wedding dress. With coupons from Joanns I created the dress for under $75 and the original was like $599 (!!!). I used a crepe back satin for the dress and rayon for the lining. I didn't splurge for silk because she was literally in the dress for about 5 hours total. Now I'll cut it into a cocktail length and she'll have a nice dress for any dressy summer event:)
