Parker didn’t even know how to sew. But it didn’t stop him from learning, all so he could make his date the beautiful dress from her dreams. Prom night is supposed to be a magical evening full of fun and festivities. But let’s face it, it can be expensive too.
When Addi Rust decided to go to the high school prom with her best friend Parker Smith, she had no clue it’d cost a pretty penny.
But fortunately for her, her creative date got to work to create a specialized, dream dress! Parker decided to do this after realizing how expensive prom dresses are.
He became motivated to create something unique for his date after they both realized the high cost of prom dresses.
USA Today reported that the average cost of going to prom is $600.
That is quite expensive and if you don’t want to spend that kind of money, making a dress at home is a great backup option. Initially, Addi was only joking about Parker making her the dress.
But after some careful thought, Parker was up to the task. He had never sewn anything before.
He didn’t have any experience with sewing before making this dress. Parker was determined to make his date her dream dress though. With no prior sewing experience, he began by sketching an idea based on what his date wanted, and then went to his grandma to get some sewing lessons.
“I’m such a perfectionist that I was up adding more stones to the dress even the night before prom.” After wowing his date with the dress he made for her, more requests for dresses came. It’s not surprising – she looked like a real fairytale princess!
