My mom and I tested the Mix it up collection from  George + Ginger , so of course we had to take a few photos together, and we used  Fabriculous  Ice, it gave the look a bit more flash and fancy feel.  But not too fancy... 🤣 Now this was all the way fancy!

The best part was totally how much my mom loved it and both my mom and dad told EVERYONE that I made her dress and thats a pretty good feeling!
