Free Crochet Pattern - Lorraine's Prom Gown

     Here is the pattern for Lorraine's Prom Gown from Back to the Future.  For this dress, I kept revising the pattern because I wasn't completely satisfied with the results.  I guess that I'm a perfectionist. :)  Anyway, I am satisfied with this version.
