Proud Mama Alert!

I first wrote about Miss Almost-17’s upcoming Senior Formal back in February over at Styling You, after we’d been formal dress shopping; then I gave a bit of a formal update in August.

And finally, last night was THE night!

So without any further ado, may I present to you the Formal Photos …

Would you believe this was the first dress she tried on?!
After this, nothing else even came close!

    • I know what you mean Aroha … mind you it is a MUCH bigger occasion these days. Good practice run for a wedding (though not for a few years yet!)

    • Thanks Lizzy, we think so but then we are biased 😉

      I loved her dress too, old style glamour like the movie stars of yesteryear.

    • Thanks Ann. It was the first dress she tried on – after that, nothing else could compare!

  4. Oh wow – that dress is absolutely stunning! It really brings out the colour of her eyes. Great choice, she looks so beautiful.

    • I know! I’ve hardly seen her this week as it’s been a dizzying social whirl for her!

  13. Wow! I can feel your excitement and joy! It brough back memories of my own graduation dinner – it wasn’t called a formal in lil old Gympie 😉

    Cheers,
    Lynda.

    • When I was in Grade 8 (wayyyy back in 1979), it was called the Senior Dinner Dance. By the time I graduated in 83, it was called the formal. I’m just thankful we don’t call it a prom – that would be toooooo American for me!
