The altered version is SO MUCH BETTER!!! It was already a beautiful dress, but wow! I would usually roll my eyes at someone trying to make it more modest, but the attention to detail and the talent you obviously have just made it better in every way!
Honestly even not thinking about modesty. it just looks better on her. The mesh kind of made her waist disappear while adding the fabric back in just redefined that area and just elevated the look. It made her look more expensive. I'd say the mesh made it look like you were trying to cheapen out on sequence fabric meanwhile adding it just added a couple hundred dollars to the feel of the look. It's giving Jessica rabbit in the after.
I feel like comfortability is the important part. Not only does the final version look better, but it's also probably more comfortable for the wearer. I'm all for wearing what you want to wear.
@@lailataluminousnight8064 there's nothing wrong with modesty in and of itself. But in the context of cultural misogyny, a context in which most of us exist, modesty gets boiled down to "cover your female body so it's easier for men to control themselves". Obviously there's more to it, and there are a lot of valid reasons to want to dress modestly. But that's the experience that many of us have had and it changes our perception of the concept.
her silhouette looks better with the fabric rather than the sides just being mesh. Its like the mesh made her waist blur out into the background but the red defined her figure
I need to watch it again to see it, and you're right, she was way better with the covered side mesh, looked bad figure for her with the side mesh. She was gorgeous wearing the altered dress.
Also it just made the dress look more expensive the mesh made it seem like you were trying to cheapen out on fabric meanwhile adding that fabric back in just added a couple hundred dollars to the feel
Honestly really elevated the look and made the garment look much more expensive. Funny how a small alteration can make so much difference. That mesh was NOT meshing.
Wow, you seriously elevated that dress. It went from being a bit tacky looking to old Hollywood chic, and your new design suited the young girl's figure so much better. She looked fabulous. An absolutely amazing transformation. Well done you. X
The daughter looked gorgeous. The paneling on the side made the dress more like the Oscars and less like Las Vegas showgirl. Well done, very tasteful alterations. Stunning!
and the young woman for choosing a dress this gorgeous! it does look much better with the mesh replaced with the material, at that age and even now I would feel uncomfortable wearing it with that mesh too honestly edit: I'm not the type of person to dress modestly but it still feels uncomfortable showing more skin than a certain amount I'm comfortable with 😅
I still thought it showed too much breast into the lower sternum area-I guess now it’s acceptable to show so much breast and nobody thinks twice because we are being flooded with it.
I think after a certain point, as someone that's been large chested since I was a damn kid, some things the girls are just going to be doing extra girling. this covered WAY more than I was expecting it to based on the mannequin picture, and I'm betting mom stopped arguing about that ages ago after realizing everything will look like that on big boobs unfortunately. she looks amazing and is comfortable, I'd have let it slide too
@@BlackOpal888because on the mannequin that was covering NOTHING, and these styles tend to be favored by women that are curvy to fit the style of the dress, and curvy often comes with being large in the chest. seeing how a seamstress deals with that area is important to me as someone who has issues with things fitting properly in that area and not looking like I'm falling out of it
Totally agree 💯, your adjustment made a beautiful 😍 young lady look as classy as she should feel for a fabulous celebration 🎉🎉🎉🎉 every thing was Gorgeous 😻🥰🥰🥰🥰
I think the reason there was mesh there is because the fabric is sequins. It'll rip your arms up as the night goes on, so they probably opted for mesh there instead to not have to add a whole new fabric to the dress. It looks better without the mesh, but I can feel the sequins rubbing on my arms just looking at it lol
@@yin4296 the mesh was there to create an illusion and show more skin. That's why the mesh was nude. These dresses have no boning or real structure so the mesh helps the dress to fit snug.
Wow, great job and what a good call by Mom on adding fabric on the sides. It gave it more structure and made it more flattering. And I don't know who was responsible, but the young lady's hair and make up was fabulous. She looked better than half the women at the Oscars!
i think the after looks way better tbh, great work! also, wow, THATS a prom dress??? must be some glamorous theme because that looks way too fancy for a prom dress, or maybe i'm just too prudish lmao! she looks gorgeous though and i hope she had a fun time!
A prom dress is what you make it. Like when they go to the Met Gala, some are giving way more than the others, but all at the same ball. P.s. After seeing how some people dress at the Met, I'll usually find myself double checking the theme more than once. Like, what was it supposed to be again? 🤭
@@qj5887 that is true, but i guess i'm so use to most schools that hold proms allowing more casual wear or wanting less revealing clothing. seeing that dress, it looks more like, yea, it's meant for the Met Gala or like some red carpet event, not a school prom. ofc ppl can wear whatever they want, but lordee it's so flashy! it just took me aback a bit 😄
I know the person in the video isn't from the UK but over here most prom dresses look like that haha because you only get 1 prom in your lifetime when you're 16! I always find it odd when I see people going to proms casually

Yeah, I can’t handle having too much of the bust/décolletage bared. It’s mostly a personal comfort thing I guess. I am short. A daring neckline might look fabulous in the mirror, but I really don’t want anyone looking down my dress 🫣. (My prom dresses were so basic compared to this!)
@@stephanied4863 it's a complicated issue. Appropriate attire is such a subjective and personal thing that has so much baggage dragged along with it. For example, why is wearing a bikini to the pool perfectly acceptable but showing your bra is public indecency.

Yes! I hate that all prom dresses have so much skin showing now. It was a pretty dress but way too revealing for a teenager. Your panels really made it look far more appropriate without taking away from the shape/style of the dress.
I went to my senior prom more than 20 years ago. Even back then it was next to impossible to find dresses that didn’t look like they belonged in playboy. Some friends and I went to 9 different malls, 8 stand alone stores. and 3 David’s Bridal stores. All over the course of about a month. My friends brother was in town visiting after finishing basic training. He went with us on one of our dress shopping trip. After the umpteenth store he said “I’ve had to learn to sew my uniforms. Let me get some fabric and see what I can do”. So we let him. And he made our dresses for us. I still have mine in storage.
Honestly I don’t get the mesh trend. Especially on wedding dresses. It just makes them look so cheap. That dress is so beautiful & you made it look so much better.
Much more glamorous looking after the alterations! Looks like it was made that way and it offers better support and a more continuous look than the mesh. Well done!
Ugh! This reminds me of the alterations I had to make on my friend's wedding gown the day of the wedding! I don't know if her chest got smaller or the dressmaker was incompetent, but fortunately, I had my sewing box in the truck of my car (my sewing machine was 200 miles away), so I hand sewed the bustline, carefully gathering in the extra material in the bustline so she wasn't popping out of it. Thanks for giving this girl her special day, without feeling uncomfortable or exposed.
Omg!!! Girl slay! At first I was a little confused cause it looked like it fit, but adding in some lacing, and that solid color on the sides actually really pops. I think it adds sparkle and dimension instead of just the see-through mesh. Girlfriend looked good! ❤
It looks so much more elegant and sophisticated now. I’d personally want the front raised slightly but then again, prom is not as big here as it is in the states so I’m a bit clueless! Anyway, very beautiful person in a very beautiful dress x
@@calimorales9880 it turns out that I’m wrong anyway, apparently this style of revealing dress is being worn by 16 year olds to prom in the uk. It concerns me but I’m not their parents so 🤷♀️
@@calimorales9880 it completely depends on the person and the current style cycle 😂 so one is wearing a gown to the average mid semester school dance, proms and grads are extremely different than a dance.
My daughter went the prom for the first time this year and so I went with her for shopping. I was so surprised many dresses were so revealing or something Madonna would have worn in the 80s. Too sexy for anyone, and was on sale for teens? I’m not American and Americans probably don’t care, but I believe the shops in most of other countries would not carry those not age appropriate dresses in the first place
You made it look even classier by defining her waist even more with those sequins and making the bling at the front the real money piece of the dress! Gorgeous!!! 😍
The addition to the sides was perfect. That young lady was stunning and absolutely showed that she felt more comforting it once it altered it. Definitely a 10/10 sequins!
Can we acknowledge how gorgeous this young lady is? And this dress, that actually seems to be good quality (rare), compliments her figure beautifully. Alterations had that waist looking snatched!
The three comment after yours are talking about how this clothing is inappropriate for a child I don't know why you think this is okay would you be okay with the girls male teachers seeing her in that? I've seen literal prostitutes wear more clothing.
Yaaasss!!! They gotta give it up for baby gurl in these comments. She was killing it in that dress. Okaay! I love it when a look comes together. Her hair was a crown of glory & makeup just right. The styling was a 10/10. I hope the beautiful girl had a beautiful night because that's what prom is all about (& stunning all of your classmates & feeling yourself) 😂.
That is a stunning dress both ways, I'm not used to seeing dresses that are as great as this at the start. The fantastic model obviously helps though she looked beautiful.
Haha right! Usually it’s all knock offs that look horrible and she has to make an entirely new dress. These customers actually just wanted some alterations to some good bones!
I honestly think it would have look3d prettier with more red up front too, instead of the mesh. Mesh just doesn't look good. Replacing the front mesh with red would define the shape of the gorgeous beadwork and show it off better *and* allow her to wear a bra that gives her some lift instead of the way the mesh is kinda squashing her girls a bit and making them look a little saggy. Or even just switching the mesh out and replacing it with some high end lace would have been better IMHO. I just do not like mesh. It always looks tacky, like those clear plastic bra straps girls used to wear when I was in high school.
I was so confused when I first watched this because I assumed it was about the deep v in the front. 😂 I had to rewind because I didn’t even notice the sides. But if that picture was from online on the mannequin, I’m really surprised they bought it! It looks SOO revealing on the mannequin-like low neckline plus deep v plus sides were sheer. The finished product was beautiful but my mom would never let me wear anything like that and I don’t think I would have wanted to. She has the rest of her life to be an adult and dress how she wants, she should have dressed more age appropriate while she was still a kid.
The kids these days love flesh 😅 this is traditional sexy, and is MILD compared to some stuff on the internet. You’d be flabbergasted to see what these 17/18 yr old high school kids are wearing and doing for prom.
@@jacforswear18 Yes it is but thanks to the media and shows like euphoria where Alexa Demie who is like 28 year old woman is playing a teenage girl wearing club attire to school lol. I grew up with gossip girl and despite everything they still managed to look age appropriate. When I went to prom around 2010-2011 no girl wore a dress with a plunging neckline like that. TBH the mesh did not really hide anything so what was even the point of having fabric there honestly
Thank you. I thought I was the only one thinking this! No one else seems to mind but I think it is far too revealing for a sixteen year old. I think it also looks a little tacky.
Sweetheart, you're so amazing!!! I love that you have the EYE for making dresses look amazing no matter the body type. You're sensitive to the needs of your client and their families. There are so few like you. Please, keep being you!!!
You know, it's very odd that people seem very comfortable (in these comments, but maybe the channel owner encourages it, idk) always talking about these clients and their weights, as if they aren't allowed to want cute clothing or need alterations.
Cloths are made to suit people. If people should alter themselves to fit any clothing, there is somthing massively wrong. It is, by the way, not necessary to only produce taylorings that look good on very skinny people, who are in minour, and just size them up. This cannot work because bodies do not change in the same proportions than just upsizing of clothes does.
I have yet to see any comments about weight. I only see comments about the tasteful alterations and the stunning final appearance. Besides, there's clothing styles best suited to a type of weight. Very skin tight clothing is best for very trim bodies, but voluminous folds and elegant draping cloth looks quite poor on those very same trim, slender bodies. (The infamous Angelina Jolie at the Oscars comes to mind; the large skirt snd draping nature if her dress made her seem positively boney and skeletal, but on a larger woman, it would've been extravagant.) Clothing is like haircuts. You must work with the face shape and hair type you have to get the most flattering look.
Honestly, I don't think anyone needs see-through anything. Being modest about the human form makes it a very intimate thing for the person you choose to show it to. The front needed some more modesty as well imo.
I'm so surprised that schools are allowing such revealing dresses. I was almost denied entry because I left my shawl in the car. We weren't allowed short dresses either because they weren't considered formal.
I mean it's prom, why dress code girls for stuff like this? It's not like it's 'distracting' from class or whatever lame excuse they use to punish girls
How does one walk in a dress like that, let alone dance? I’ve danced in gowns with long trains that had a wrist loop to hold it up, but the front of that dress looks like it’s long, too!
For myself, I made sure that the hot pink multilayer, boned,etc, petticoat was easily removable. My cousin made a tie that made it so easy to put on and off. I had matching hot pink leggings and it made sitting and dancing possible!😅
For people mad at comments saying the chest should be covered, You don’t have to be misogynistic, body shaming, or any of that to say a 17 year old would be better off covering her chest more. Body positivity doesn’t have to mean SHOWING your body. And yes teenagers show off their bodies to be “sexy” as most people do. Having a large chest isn’t a crime but it’s commendable for someone to not want it on display because they don’t want any and everyone to have access to their bodies.
Mesh so often looks a bit cheap to me because it rarely matches someone's skin colour very well - too light, too dark, too yellow, too pink etc and often the mesh colour doesn't even go nicely with the main colour of the dress so it's even more jarring
I have nothing against mesh, but for this, the red sequined fabric looked way more glamorous. She was definitely giving Old Hollywood vibes!
Yes, sometimes mesh/soft edges look better, it's just in this case the more well-defined edges look better.
@@kray3883 Exactly 💯
It really helped balance out the look of the top next to the skirt of the dress. Definitely goes from a cheaper looking dress to starlette vibes!
That's exactly what I said! Very old Hollywood!
I think that red mesh tends to look very cheap in general
Edit: Wait, I had some eyes malfunction. It wasn't red xd But still dress looks much better without mesh pannels.
The mesh on the side made it look cheap. The sequin fabric matched perfectly and made it so glamorous
Yes it did. Cheap is a good word for it. Looks expensive, afterwards. Another example of showing Less is More.

It's definitely classier looking without the risk of your boob popping down
Also, the way the mesh was place made it impossible to wear a bra. Why dress companies keep forgetting that bras exist?

It actually looked way better with the mesh covered up.
You did a great job. Why are these companies slacking on the quality of their materials. These dresses dnt look like they use to look.
Yes, I agree. It made it look so much more elegant and expensive quite honestly.
I personally hate when a design cuts off at the seam line, so fully covering the mesh was a major improvement
It's an underage girl, and it would've been amost half of her torso and breasts exposed.
I agree, but with her being a minor, I understand the alterations tho
That legit looked better than the original design. The flow of that red was perfect after your alterations.

Much more glamorous looking after the alterations! Looks like it was made that way and it offers better support and a more continuous look than the mesh. Well done!
Ugh! This reminds me of the alterations I had to make on my friend's wedding gown the day of the wedding! I don't know if her chest got smaller or the dressmaker was incompetent, but fortunately, I had my sewing box in the truck of my car (my sewing machine was 200 miles away), so I hand sewed the bustline, carefully gathering in the extra material in the bustline so she wasn't popping out of it. Thanks for giving this girl her special day, without feeling uncomfortable or exposed.
That looks much better with the extra fabric actually! Much classier and absolutely gorgeous on her
Omg!!! Girl slay! At first I was a little confused cause it looked like it fit, but adding in some lacing, and that solid color on the sides actually really pops. I think it adds sparkle and dimension instead of just the see-through mesh.
Girlfriend looked good! ❤
It looks wayy better with the added fabric. It made her look snatched !!!
The alteration elevated the dress, it looked even prettier after and you couldn't tell it has been altered. Great job! ❤
The sequin fabric sides look like the dress was made that way! Your client looked fabulous in it for prom.
Covering that mesh on the side looks SO much better
It looks so much more elegant and sophisticated now.
I’d personally want the front raised slightly but then again, prom is not as big here as it is in the states so I’m a bit clueless!
Anyway, very beautiful person in a very beautiful dress x
Nah that's def...more than usual. Prom wear doesn't rlly show more than any other dance event for teens.
@@calimorales9880 it turns out that I’m wrong anyway, apparently this style of revealing dress is being worn by 16 year olds to prom in the uk.
It concerns me but I’m not their parents so 🤷♀️
@@calimorales9880 it completely depends on the person and the current style cycle 😂 so one is wearing a gown to the average mid semester school dance, proms and grads are extremely different than a dance.
@@HandyHelons it shouldn’t concern you unless you’re prone to looking at teens sexually.
My daughter went the prom for the first time this year and so I went with her for shopping. I was so surprised many dresses were so revealing or something Madonna would have worn in the 80s. Too sexy for anyone, and was on sale for teens? I’m not American and Americans probably don’t care, but I believe the shops in most of other countries would not carry those not age appropriate dresses in the first place
Much more sophisticated and glam after.
You made it look even classier by defining her waist even more with those sequins and making the bling at the front the real money piece of the dress! Gorgeous!!! 😍
Honestly, I think your alterations made this look SO much better! Amazing work!
The addition to the sides was perfect. That young lady was stunning and absolutely showed that she felt more comforting it once it altered it. Definitely a 10/10 sequins!
A good example of how less does not mean more. She looks beautiful with the alteration!
It looks so much better and so much classier with your alterations. Definitely made this dress look amazing.
Even better than the original love it 🙌
That client is absolutely gorgeous!
Couldn't have said it better! It looks absolutely GORGEOUS on her! Great job on this alteration! You absolutely nailed it!
Way better. The finished even looked better. ❤️
She looks so stunning!! I hope she had a lovely prom!!
Wow, the final look is so gorgeous! Talk about an improvement! 💖
Beautiful That dress looked soooo good on her!!
Two women I so adore! Thank you for this episode. May God bless you both.
Can we acknowledge how gorgeous this young lady is? And this dress, that actually seems to be good quality (rare), compliments her figure beautifully. Alterations had that waist looking snatched!
The three comment after yours are talking about how this clothing is inappropriate for a child I don't know why you think this is okay would you be okay with the girls male teachers seeing her in that? I've seen literal prostitutes wear more clothing.
Yaaasss!!! They gotta give it up for baby gurl in these comments. She was killing it in that dress. Okaay! I love it when a look comes together. Her hair was a crown of glory & makeup just right. The styling was a 10/10. I hope the beautiful girl had a beautiful night because that's what prom is all about (& stunning all of your classmates & feeling yourself) 😂.
@@qj5887 I've seen prostitutes wear more clothing
That is a stunning dress both ways, I'm not used to seeing dresses that are as great as this at the start. The fantastic model obviously helps though she looked beautiful.
Haha right! Usually it’s all knock offs that look horrible and she has to make an entirely new dress. These customers actually just wanted some alterations to some good bones!
I actually like your finished version better than the original. It was nicely put together.
Beautiful dress! Mom said the sides were too revealing, but the front where her cleavage was still showing was ok. Strange....
Legit what I was thinking haaa- thoroughly confused lol
I honestly think it would have look3d prettier with more red up front too, instead of the mesh. Mesh just doesn't look good. Replacing the front mesh with red would define the shape of the gorgeous beadwork and show it off better *and* allow her to wear a bra that gives her some lift instead of the way the mesh is kinda squashing her girls a bit and making them look a little saggy. Or even just switching the mesh out and replacing it with some high end lace would have been better IMHO. I just do not like mesh. It always looks tacky, like those clear plastic bra straps girls used to wear when I was in high school.
It may have been a compromise. The dress was too grown but the daughter may have brought the dress. A lot of these kids work.
I was so confused when I first watched this because I assumed it was about the deep v in the front. 😂 I had to rewind because I didn’t even notice the sides. But if that picture was from online on the mannequin, I’m really surprised they bought it! It looks SOO revealing on the mannequin-like low neckline plus deep v plus sides were sheer. The finished product was beautiful but my mom would never let me wear anything like that and I don’t think I would have wanted to. She has the rest of her life to be an adult and dress how she wants, she should have dressed more age appropriate while she was still a kid.
FR THO! The front was way too exposed. I cringed at how overly revealing the front was.
You never need to ask "how did I do" bc you always do amazing!! 💖 On top of that, all your clients look so happy 😊
The client looked stunning! Such a great alteration!
You did a fabulous job.
You did an amazing job! But that central mesh borders on inappropriate for prom
The kids these days love flesh 😅 this is traditional sexy, and is MILD compared to some stuff on the internet. You’d be flabbergasted to see what these 17/18 yr old high school kids are wearing and doing for prom.
Is super innapropiate for a girl her age
No they aren’t. You just don’t like them. Great thing it isn’t your dress or your body.
@@jacforswear18 Yes it is but thanks to the media and shows like euphoria where Alexa Demie who is like 28 year old woman is playing a teenage girl wearing club attire to school lol. I grew up with gossip girl and despite everything they still managed to look age appropriate.
When I went to prom around 2010-2011 no girl wore a dress with a plunging neckline like that. TBH the mesh did not really hide anything so what was even the point of having fabric there honestly
Thank you. I thought I was the only one thinking this! No one else seems to mind but I think it is far too revealing for a sixteen year old. I think it also looks a little tacky.
Sweetheart, you're so amazing!!! I love that you have the EYE for making dresses look amazing no matter the body type. You're sensitive to the needs of your client and their families. There are so few like you. Please, keep being you!!!
She looks so pretty in the dress! You did great
It looks way better with the mesh covered up. It’s kinda giving Jessica Rabbit
For see through dresses, I always love the inner layer to match the skin tone of whoever is wearing it. It always looks so beautiful
Your videos keep popping up in my feed and I am so glad! I love seeing what you do, you are so creative and gifted!
You know, it's very odd that people seem very comfortable (in these comments, but maybe the channel owner encourages it, idk) always talking about these clients and their weights, as if they aren't allowed to want cute clothing or need alterations.
Watch more content and you'll hopefully develop a more positive understanding
@@TheTania323in every single video theyre talking about th3 girls weight, can fat girls live and not want to wear lose clothes? Lol
Cloths are made to suit people.
If people should alter themselves to fit any clothing, there is somthing massively wrong.
It is, by the way, not necessary to only produce taylorings that look good on very skinny people, who are in minour, and just size them up. This cannot work because bodies do not change in the same proportions than just upsizing of clothes does.
I have yet to see any comments about weight. I only see comments about the tasteful alterations and the stunning final appearance. Besides, there's clothing styles best suited to a type of weight. Very skin tight clothing is best for very trim bodies, but voluminous folds and elegant draping cloth looks quite poor on those very same trim, slender bodies. (The infamous Angelina Jolie at the Oscars comes to mind; the large skirt snd draping nature if her dress made her seem positively boney and skeletal, but on a larger woman, it would've been extravagant.) Clothing is like haircuts. You must work with the face shape and hair type you have to get the most flattering look.
I’m sorry, but this dress just wasn’t made for her body type, alterations and all 🤷♀️
oh my god she's gorgeous!!! I hope her prom was amazing
Girls that age dont need see thru prom dresses
Exactly
Honestly, I don't think anyone needs see-through anything. Being modest about the human form makes it a very intimate thing for the person you choose to show it to. The front needed some more modesty as well imo.
Girls dont need you telling them what they can/cant wear.
That dress is gorgeous 😍 and the alterations actually improve it
You made it look 100x better! She is gorgeous!
Beautiful alteration ❤ I think it made her more confident and comfortable about her look
I'm so surprised that schools are allowing such revealing dresses. I was almost denied entry because I left my shawl in the car. We weren't allowed short dresses either because they weren't considered formal.
Looks soooo much better than the original design! Both the client and dress looked fabulous! ♡♡♡
Oh that came out so good!
The after was 10/10
Excellent work!! She picked the right magician! 😍
Again they let her in with that front?! Guess my school had harsh policies
Mom was concerned sides were showing but boobs showing ok
I mean it's prom, why dress code girls for stuff like this? It's not like it's 'distracting' from class or whatever lame excuse they use to punish girls
How does one walk in a dress like that, let alone dance?
I’ve danced in gowns with long trains that had a wrist loop to hold it up, but the front of that dress looks like it’s long, too!
For myself, I made sure that the hot pink multilayer, boned,etc, petticoat was easily removable. My cousin made a tie that made it so easy to put on and off. I had matching hot pink leggings and it made sitting and dancing possible!😅
It’s a trumpet dress. You just have to kick as you walk and you move as much as the dress allows. 😂
Looks so much classier with the sequin sides. It emphasizes the lines of the bust and hips, giving her a smoother silhouette.
Great job. I am surprised the mom didn’t say “and a little less cleavage.” 😂
You’re magic 🪄
YOU DEFINITELY IMPROVED THAT DRESS BY 1000% 😊❤👍
For people mad at comments saying the chest should be covered, You don’t have to be misogynistic, body shaming, or any of that to say a 17 year old would be better off covering her chest more. Body positivity doesn’t have to mean SHOWING your body. And yes teenagers show off their bodies to be “sexy” as most people do. Having a large chest isn’t a crime but it’s commendable for someone to not want it on display because they don’t want any and everyone to have access to their bodies.
She looks like the opening act in Vegas, not prom.
Incel spotted.
She looked so amazing in her prom look!
Mesh so often looks a bit cheap to me because it rarely matches someone's skin colour very well - too light, too dark, too yellow, too pink etc and often the mesh colour doesn't even go nicely with the main colour of the dress so it's even more jarring
How can they walk with such long dress from the front?
You gotta KICK in a trumpet gown
The mesh cover up is great. The girl looked so good in the dress.
Magical job!!!🙌🏾
