prom, take 2

lots of prep work for the prom dress.  I got the base for the skirt done and fitted.  It is very full, and I surely hope I bought enough ruffle fabric. 

Here is the cincher we bought.  I love it!  I don't like that the top ruffle is floppy, so I sprayed a bit of it with stiffener -- we'll see if that helps.

Here is the skirt -- simple waistband, almost a full circle skirt.  Not ironed yet -- and ignore the bulky t-shirt...  Now to add all the ruffles...
