FIRST EVENING GOWN
While watching the Academy Awards, I saw a gown on the Red Carpet that sparked a distant memory. That of the very first evening own I ever made, at the age of 16. I was an officer in Rainbow Girls, and as such we were required to wear evening gowns for installation of officers and initiation of new members. The dress I made was very similar to a dress displayed on the Red Carpet.
As I was wishing I had kept the dress, I remembered that my mother had had my portrait made in the dress to give to my father for Fathers' Day, and I still have the portrait.
So, here is the very first evening gown I ever made:
The points actually had boning in them. I had no idea how to insert boning, but just followed the directions on the pattern instructions.
