My daughter got a vintage dress for her high school prom. She is 5'9" and naturally thin. The (long)dress was strapless, but you could put on spaghetti straps for the 8th grader. It fit to the seam at the waist. It then flowed out over hips to a skirt that had a straight look in front, but more fabric at the back, kind of right under her fanny, with a large fabric bow, asymmetrical. The fabric is heavy satin, embroidered. She says if she ever gets nominated for an award, she's wearing this dress. I don't know what your 8th grader wants, this is rather sophisticated Sharon.

I have been asked by an 8th grader who is over 6 feet tall to make a graduation dress. She doesn't really have any ideas of what she wants. Do you know of a resource which will tell what styles look best on tall girls? Thanks! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
