My challenge was to create a prom princess from tomboy and the test subject was my beautiful daughter  Destinee'. My daughter was not excited about the idea of going to prom and did not give much input into what she wanted to wear. For me this was not a true challenge being that I have style clients from all walks of life. Starting with finding a dress that fit her shape and the right color for her skin tone.

      As you can see in the picture above  Destinee' is more comfortable in a hoodie and baseball cap and even though her hair is out she is usually sporting a ponytail. I understand that my daughter knows she is attractive but chooses to use her baggy jeans and sports shorts with her hoodie as protective armor.



 

After a month in a half of constructing Destinee's dress and styling her for prom dress she had a glow about her. I saw a girlie girl emerge from this tomboy exterior that has been a big part of her persona. The young woman who left out of our home to go to her prom was confident and showed that not only is she beautiful inside but outside as well.
