The heritage ball

I attended the Heritage Ball in Atlanta, Georgia in February 2016.  They had two special dancing nights.  One night the color was red and the other night the colors were  black and red.


I had been planning my outfits for weeks.   I had decided that the black dress was going to be easy.  I had a black dress that I had worn before but it had not been seen by this group.  I had to make some adjustments and make it a little longer than it was before.






The red dresses was completed knew.  I brought the yarn from Vogue Knitting Live in new York from various vendors.  The requirements were that the yarn had to be a size 2 or 3.   I finished the neckline and backline with Lorna fur yarn.  It is really a nice smooth fur yarn.    The back of the dress was to be the front but the neckline was too low.  I had to lace up a portion of the opening because it was too big. 

I was still adding length to the dress on the day I was leaving on the plane.  The plane ride provided me time to finish the dress.
