Monica's prom was Friday, April 25th. The Sunday before, a friend at church asked Monica if she was nervous that I hadn't even started the dress yet. No, was her answer. I guess she'd seen me crank out dresses pretty fast. That weekend, I was still sewing for Trenna and would have to have all Trenna's stuff done by a Tuesday shoot, so Monday, I couldn't start on her dress. Tuesday, I began. I have in my mind that it took me 18 hours total to make this, but the difficulty was that Monica was at school all day, so trying things on had to wait until she got home, but once everyone's home, I can't do any sewing. I did the bodice Tuesday, but had to wait until after school for her to try it on. Sure enough, there was some changes that had to be made. It took almost as long to "fix" it as it did to sew it together in the first place. Long story short, it was done in time, but I wish I had had a few more hours. The sash was a little tight, and I would have liked to make a new one, but, oh well.
