Sewing Your Prom Dress

Sewing Your Prom Dress

Didn’t think you were going to the prom and now you are, however, what dress to wear? Prom dresses, or gowns, can be expensive to purchase, and at times, almost disappointingly cookie-cutter in style depending on the fashion of the day. What’s more, long after that wonderful night is over that lovely garment will hang in the closet, safely tucked away along with those cherished memories of that magical evening.

You can sew that longed-for prom dress, with little sewing fuss, and save money by avoiding a costly prêt-à-porter purchase. Sew your prom dress with separate bodice top and skirt and wear the top again over your dressiest jeans for another magical evening out on the town.

Still desire that all in one flowing Cinderella dress? Try a ModestProm Easy Gown to sew, no darts or zipper, made from just 2 yards of stretchy material – think slinky metallic lame. Free pattern and instructions included for an elegant, lovely, easy to make prom gown. Also look for their Low-Sew Dress, again free pattern and instructions included. As you gather your own ideas of what your dream dress would be view theirs made with a gold stretch lace top and one in white satin with stretch lace top and seed pearls for a perfect low-cost prom gown.

A simple, classic, elegant prom dress can then be accessorized with today’s fashionista must-haves and complement The Dress to complete the sought-after prom look.
