Mama's Prom Dress

Want it Wednesdays: 
A few weeks ago I went Prom dress shopping with my neice. It was lots of fun, but I realized about half-way through zipping up her 304th dress choice, I never actually went prom dress shopping. While I was lucky to have a gifted and talented mother to create the prom dress of my dreams at the time (something that's necessary when you have as boobs as big as mine at the time), I missed out a a rite of passage.

Here's the one my neice chose. So cute, but not for me.


Then I realized since I was married on the beach in Mexico, I didn't go wedding dress shopping, but rather found several beach dresses online (it's hard to find a white beach dress in December in store) then jetted off with much thought about my wedding dress. So that meant I didn't have that "this is the dress" moment either. 

The whole moment-I-missed-a-moment made me kinda sad. 

So I decided to go prom dress shopping, but in the way that suits me now, that wasn't  available back in the day when I was young - on the internet. 

Here are a few of my favorites.

What do you think? 

Is there ever a moment now as a mom you would go back and redo if you could?
