This isn't quilted but..... my daughter being thrifty, as her mom, picked this dress up for $10.00 at a yard sale (tag still on- $125.00). She wanted it for Homecoming, so we shortened it and took it in a bit. We think it turned out Awesome. She is posing here with our son who also went to the dance. (Dates hadn't been picked up yet)

Not only is she pretty but smart too! Those "I'll wear it once to this dance" dresses are so expensive and so not worth the money invested. She'll look just as beautiful as the girls that spent a fortune but she can have a bigger smile on her way to the bank.

I purchased a dress very similar for my granddaughter and sure paid much more than this. This was an awesome deal and a beautiful dress. She is so pretty, colors go so well with her beautiful hair.
