The skirt of the dress had the same ruffles, but they were in strips. Oh, I WISH I had a picture of it!!!

They never returned it and they moved away. Still a huge loss to me. I loved that dress.....

So, when we decided to go, the coach overpaid us for some odd jobs at his house so we could go to dinner ROFL on the "went". Yeah. Like we didn't grow up here and know what that all means!? Sometimes it's better to let them think you are ignorant, LOL

Hey we all went to Santa Cruz techniquely after the prom... I am sure yours will go down right after - We had like 20 people staying in one room down there - the motel caught on after the 4th car got there --- luckily it was relayed back and we all didn't head down til very early am!

(and no one else asked me). Gosh, I was such a freak in Hight School. I should have just gone up to someone and asked them to dance.
