Proud of this gown I created for my niece’s prom. The inspiration was the green gown designed by Michael Costello of Project Runway, Season Season 8 and Season 1 Allstars, The gown was crested using the Butterick 5746 sloper pattern. The fabric was a stretch crepe I found at Sarah’s fabrics in Langley Park, MD. Her hair and make styist created the look of Marilyn Monroe.
