Maura in her Prom dress 2011

Maura and Zach- they look like they are enjoying each other

Prom 2011- Tonight is the night and they were very excited. They spent time getting photos taken at our house, then Zach's Dad's then went to the hospital where his Mom was working and took pictures there before meeting me at the Landing for more photos.
So, once again, the statistics: Maura spent about 100 hours making the dress. It took almost 4,000 pop-tabs and she got donations from 12 different states. We did make the flowers from pop-tabs as well. Zach declined to wear the tie, thinking it was just too much glitz.
Don't they look great together?
When I left them, they were meeting up with another couple and were planning to have dinner before heading to the Hilton for the prom. I hope they have a great time!

I agree, your daughter is a doll. Fantastic work on the dress. Is she planning on going into fashion design? Curious. I love the soft pink color.

Maura is interested in fashion, but I don't think she plans on making it a career. She is good at quite a few things, which makes it harder to decide what to focus on. She's an honor student and does speech and debate and is the pit captain in Band besides working.

Talented! or what... not to mention beautiful...I love that dress and she did a great job on it. I hope you get the follow-up and press coverage. Any idea what she will do with the dress after prom?

You must be so proud of her. Even if the dress had been made of traditional material, it is stunning, as is she. I'm sure she'll go far in this world whatever path she chooses.

It's a lovely looking dress. I don't know how she figured it out.
