Transform a Wedding Dress into a Graduation Gown

Madison Bessette is one of Mrs. Ziarko’s best students in Fashion Design 20. She is using all her creativity and effort to transform her aunt’s old wedding dress into her Graduation Gown, which she will proudly wear in her Grad Ceremony this year. Madison’s aunt’s wedding dress had been under her grandpa’s staircase for more than 16 years, but now, with Madison’s sewing skills and her creativity, she will have the most original Graduation Gown in this year’s Archbishop O’Leary’s Grad Ceremony. It will take her around two months to get it, but with Mrs. Ziarko’s help we are sure that she will have the best results!
