The original dress Trantham bought featured crystals on the top as well as a full skirt with a long train.
Since the upcoming Marine Corps Ball was going to be Trantham's 11th time attending, she wanted to wear something that was really special and unique. Originally, she was looking to buy a '60s siren dress but couldn't find any online, which is why she decided to make her own.
"I already had a pattern in mind and thought I could just modify the pattern of the wedding dress to fit my vision," she said.
