When Wisconsin teen Mariah Herron found it too hard to track down the camouflage prom dress of her dreams, she turned to her own fairy godmother: her father. Not content with the fluffy pink dresses her peers at Marshfield High School were sure to wear, Mariah, 17, sought a dress that reflected her individuality and affinity for hunting and wielding power tools, the Marshfield News-Herald reports.
It's a bigger trend than you'd think. Google "camo prom dresses"
Her father, David Herron, learned to sew while serving in the military...The dress took about two months to finish. Herron even added the tops of shotgun shells to the waist of the gown as a nod to Mariah's hobby. "I think she likes it," Herron said of his work. "She asked me if I'd make her a wedding dress."

I thought it was a heart warming story, and we all need a break from the bad news constantly spewing from Capitol Hill.
