LOOOONG Overdue Pictures of the Mermaid Prom Dress!

Wow, I've been sorely slacking on my posting.  Anyway, my mermaid prom dress was a success!
Everything came together pretty well... I managed to get a full circle skirt out of 4 yards of fabric.
I ended up wearing this to 3 proms, so it got a lot of wear!  Without further ado, here are some pictures:

 

...complete with a CORAL crinoline!  It was my mom's idea and she made it to match the lining (coral, geddit?  mermaid/ocean-themed... yes we are clever!)

 Here's my first prom, with my good friend David.  We are total goofballs.

And my second one.  This prom was actually in Chicago (on the 66th floor of the Sears Tower, no less!)  Eric is one of my best friends and went for a Fred Astaire look.  We're a tad anachronistic... but 1930's versus 1950's, it's all retro, right?  Right?!  We're a handsome pair, I do admit.

Here's me and my lil bro.  Even if he's much, much taller than me I refuse to acknowledge it!
