My daughter attended her senior prom this evening. She is definitely a leader not a follower. SO when planning for prom and looking for dresses....she told me she wanted a camouflage prom dress....well OK. I was very skeptical but willing to let her be herself. When I ordered the fabric, I told the gentleman that I couldn't believe my daughter was going to wear a camouflage prom dress. He promptly told me that he sells 3000 to 4000 yards of fabric a year for prom dresses. So what do yall think? The lining was hot pink. I thought she was very cute!

I think your daughter is adorable! And while I wouldn't have considered camo for a prom dress in the past, it's an attractive dress!! Great job Mama...on making a beautiful young woman and a beautiful dress! :)

I think it is great to be different for Prom. The dress is not like everyone elses & is beautiful. Your DD is a very pretty young lady. And you did a great job on the dress.

I would not have known it was camouflage fabric unless you told me, it looks beautiful, so does your daughter! The fabric looks like a satin, I love that slash of hot pink for the lining, a wonderfully contemporary touch, well done!
