So far we have adjusted the pattern and cut a muslin from a stash knit. We will be assembling the muslin this weekend and checking the fit.
I am very excited to be working on a prom dress and working with such a gorgeous, fancy fabric. I am also a little nervous since I have never worked with sequined fabric before. I am sure it will be an adventure.

Buy lots of extra needles -- even the soft plastic of many modern sequinned fabrics will break needles. Also, plan to stop frequently to wipe your needle clear of adhesive and gunk -- I used a cotton ball wetted with rubbing alcohol when I sewed with these amazing-yet-tricksy fabrics.
End result will be worth all the effort. Bright red and sparkly is a great way to go to prom.
How very exciting. Having a daughter, being able to sew, and having a daughter who is willing to let you sew her prom dress is a wonderful gift. Enjoy! And give yourself lots of time...
