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 …
You might have noticed … I’ve been having some fun playing around with effects on Pic Monkey π
Joining My Little Drummer Boys for another round of Wordless Wednesday.
Aroha @ Colours of Sunset says
She looks amazing! I hope they had a wonderful night. Ahhhh, brings back memories. Hazy ones, but memories nonetheless π
Janet says
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!)
Lizzy - Muddle-Headed Mamma says
Your daughter is truly beautiful, Janet. She has amazing eyes and I love the classic style of her dress. I hope they had a wonderful night π
Janet says
Thanks Lizzy, we think so but then we are biased π
I loved her dress too, old style glamour like the movie stars of yesteryear.
ann says
Lovely pics. That dress is amazing and suits Miss almost 17 down to the ground.
Janet says
Thanks Ann. It was the first dress she tried on – after that, nothing else could compare!
Alex Laughs Ideas Inspiration says
Oh wow – that dress is absolutely stunning! It really brings out the colour of her eyes. Great choice, she looks so beautiful.

Annaleis from Teapots and Tractors says
Gorgeous dress and colour – suited her perfectly. Must be hard on Mum with her all grown up.
Janet says
I know! I’ve hardly seen her this week as it’s been a dizzying social whirl for her!
Lynda @HomeleaLass says
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 π
Cheers,
Lynda.
Janet says
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!
Karen says
Gorgeous!! And what a cute couple! I hope she had a blast!!
Janet says
Hi Karen, they are pretty cute π and had a great time.
