It is still a work in progress, but it is coming along! We're still making final design changes(ie: trim color, no trim or trim) but the dress is mostly done. I need to attach the fringe, but I am not 100% sure if I want to recut new fringe or not. oh and the fringe DOES go to the end of the skirt. LOL! In this pic it doesn't but it does now.

Yes. :) Colors of the Wind. Originally, we were going to go with a more flowy dress. I actually would have liked a watercolor type dress or a bright dress instead of a native style dress, but dd wanted a dress like this instead. So my adventure began! lol.

It's like Michelle Kwan's! :) I'm 23 and I would wear that for colors of the wind lol. :)

Yes, in fact, there is another girl on you tube who is skating to Colors of the Wind who has a similar dress! My daughter LOVES the dress and ran into the room to show me. So, I ended up trying to make one similar. :)

Nice job. It will look great on her!

My dd did this with the flowy dress :) but it was more an interpretation of the song rather than the character (both the music cut and the dress). I think it can work nicely either way. Dd's doing the same with the Riverbend song now since Colors worked so well for her. Yes, I know, more Disney, but I think the songs are actually quite beautiful and work well for skating.

I think shortly after my daughter decided she would skate to this song, I found your daughter's program online. If her dress is the dress I am thinking of, it is lovely! This is the dress we were originally thinking of going with. I still think it would work, but since my daughter is making her program a showcase(she is using a ribbon as a prop), I thought a character dress would be a better choice. I still LOVE this dress tho!

I agree, these songs are beautiful!!

Thank you! Adults can be fun to sew for too! :) Dd isn't very small any more. :( she is 5+ ft tall and can wear some adult sized clothing and wears a size 7 shoe! Granted, she wears a size 0 pant and XS womens tops(when they fit!), but she certainly isn't a little girl any more. *sniff* But yes, adopting an adult would be hard. HA!! lol I am still learning. I'll probably get comfortable sewing dresses right when dd decides to stop skating! :)
