Her dress was made of black satin and she wore her Grandma's fur shawl. She wore little diamante ear-rings and a matching bracelet - which she lost at the dance, unfortunately!
Michael and Alex went for dancing lessons and there was no way we going to let them leave without showing us their steps! Poor man was soooooo nervous!
Philip had the honours of driving them to the dance which was held at the Hellenic Hall in Durban. The theme was "Silver Screen" and Alex said it was beautiful!
They had a wonderful evening! We are all so proud of Alex for making her own dress! It was a big job and she did it so well! Now, in her own words "comes the hard work!" Preparing for her finals and deciding where to study next year! She wants to a degree in design and will specialise in her 4th year - maybe interior design or maybe even fashion - time will tell, and I am sure she will make the right choice. She is motivated and so full of life!
Philip and I are VERY proud of both our girls!

She looked beautiful!!!!!!!!!
Janet, she looks just beautiful! And she made her own dress? I'm super impressed! That looks to be a very daunting task to me. And I'm a pretty good seamstress. I like to sew kids clothes best though.
Congrats to you and Philip both for raising such a gorgeous girl!
So glad you all had a wonderful weekend!
Wow - she looked stunning!!! What a beautiful dress too - such a clever girl!! Proud parents you are!!!!
Glad you had quality time with your Mum and Dad - treasure those times! I am off to see my Mum this weekend - looking forward to it (in a way) but I know it'll be the last time I'll see her. Very very sad - she is 'going down' very quickly now apparently.
What a lovely young woman, and what a gorgeous dress. She looks so happy, I can see she has a very bright future!
Congratulations!
That dress is totally gorgeous (as is your daughter!). She is very talented. I can't believe she made that dress. Just beautiful.
WOW! she made such a fabulous dress. I'm sooooo impressed.
She looked absolutely awesome. The dress is beautiful and if this is done without training, imagine what she would be able to do after four years of study.
