I'm so excited! So... I am sixteen going on seventeen. And I LOVE the Sound of Music. Last year I didn't have a sweet 16 birthday party, we just you know, hung out. We were pretty worn out with the Grad party and all. Anyway, this happens to be my golden birthday so.....I'm throwing a ball! Yup! I've been brainstorming about themes (renaissance, historic, regency, hoedown, formal etc.) and of course what I'm going to make to wear. I've decided that I don't need to decide yet, but I DEFINITELY need to make Liesl's dress. I was going to draft it, but here is a pattern! I was SO excited when I found it. Click on the pattern to go see where you can buy it. What really cool is that it is made by a young girl who is concerned about modesty!
Ok, so design stuff.
In the movie it looks lavender at the table, and light blue/cream/aqua in the garden. In the publicity photos though it is VERY obviously pink.
So what color should I do mine?
I'm very undecided and I like them all.
