For Indianapolis teenager Addi Rust, prom was coming up and she had a big problem: what to wear for the big day? The senior already had a date, her best friend and junior Parker Smith. But she didn’t have the money for the kind of dress she wanted, as some dresses can run up to as much as $600.
One night when Addi and Parker were hanging out, she showed him the dress of her dreams, which was way out of her price range, and joked about him making it for her. Though Parker had no prior sewing experience, the idea enchanted him.
