Orchestra Dress

TaraLyn had an orchestra concert the other day. I forgot to take my camera, but I took a picture of her dress when we got home. Every year you get to pay $50.00 for the dress rental. Last year I did that. Then this year TaraLyn said that you can buy a dress for $80.00. Since she has this year and two more years, I thought that sounded better. When I spoke to the lady about it, she was going to sell me TaraLyn's ugly dress from last year for $80.00. I asked if I could just make one. And she said that I could. I ended up spending $36.00 on a pattern and material for the dress. This is a picture of TaraLyn in her new dress. Her dress fit her so much better than the others and I made it really full at the bottom so that she could fit her legs around her cello without her dress being hiked up to her knees. (I know that the picture is sideways.............I tried turning it five times and decided that everyone could look at it this way)
