as some of y'all know, I'm making my dress this year for my senior formal/prom. my initial hope was that my mom and i would work on it together, one last project before i got to college in the fall.
but from the very beginning she's been very clear that she doesn't think it'll work out. i've tried to explain to her that I have been doing research for over six months. i keep trying to show that i know exactly what i'm getting into, every step planned out, going into this with sound knowledge of the effort needed.
but so far she's shown zero interest in actually helping me. worse, every time i'm working on it she makes a pessimistic comment. or like tonight, i was working on a mock-up for my bodice pattern. when i told her it was gonna be strapless she got that look on her face, so i excitedly went off about how it won't slip because i'll be using proper boning and a waiststay. her only reply was "boning and a waiststay?", gave me a look that said yeah no way you're gonna get it done, and walked off
idk. i guess i'm just sorta bummed? i was really hoping she'd be as enthusiastic as i was--or at least willing. but i feel like she's trying to purposely discourage me from making it. i don't have much sewing experience, you see, which is why she thinks it's gonna be a flop. i figure she feels like she's trying to save me from "inevitable" despair, but it's really just depressing.

My first cosplay wasn't anything special but i was still proud of it. Just give it your all and do your best! If she won't support you, you have to support yourself! I believe in you! Sewing isn't easy, neither is boning and while it does take work, so long as you put the effort in i think it will be fine.

@leopardbreath7ate9 I hate to do so but looks like I'm gonna have to.
🎃❅❖.Şp໐໐kฯຟiຖ໓.❖❅🎃 Thanks for the encouragements! I'm pretty confident that everything will work out and it'll be a great dress. I've left myself plenty of time to get it done (two months) and have it all planned out, so I'm not too worried. If only my mother agreed.
