Addi Rust, a high schooler from Indiana, had been on the hunt for her dream prom gown, but unfortunately, it was beyond her budget. With the big night just a few months away, she was at a loss as to what she would wear. In a lighthearted conversation with her prom date, Parker Smith, she jokingly suggested that he make her a dress instead.
To her surprise, Parker, also a high school student, took up the challenge, even though he had no prior experience in sewing. He spent months learning the art with the help of his grandma and worked tirelessly on the gown, tweaking and refining it until it was perfect. The night before the dance, he was still putting the final touches on the dress.
Throughout the entire process, Addi had a vision of what the dress would look like, but when Parker finally revealed it to her, she was moved to tears. The dress was a masterpiece, fit for a princess, and it rendered her speechless.
Taking a minute to brag on this man because I think this is the coolest thing that I’ve ever been a part of. Parker MADE my prom dress. Straight from scratch did the whole thing and I am still speechless. I’m so lucky to have him as my best friend!❤️ pic.twitter.com/z6Woa66uLQ
