Read all of the rules very carefully, failure to follow them could result in disqualification of your submission.
Design Guidelines

•Your design should include the words "Gracie's Gowns" (although not mandatory).
•Reproduction of works of art is not allowed, as it might infringe on the original artist's copyright.
