How to Design Your Own Prom Dress


Designing your own prom gowns several advantages. First, you won't end up with the same prom gowns as someone else at your prom. Second, your gowns will fit your personal style and personality. If the idea of making your own gown is overwhelming, there is no need to fear. You can design your own prom gowns in just a few steps.

1 Start looking at prom gowns. Look through stores, online catalogs, clothing catalogs and pattern books at fabric stores. This will give you a good idea of what elements you want in your own wedding dress . Go to thrift and consignment stores and look for gowns that you like. They are very inexpensive, so it would not hurt to purchase the ones you like the best. You can use these as the pattern for your prom dress or utilize them as part of your cloth.

2 Examine your sample cloth. Think about what you like about the clothes and what you don't like. Consider how you would alter the dress to suit you. If you like the color and fabrics, take the dresses apart to use the part of the cloth you like. For example, if you like the bodice of the dress and the skirt, but hate the sleeves and back, use a seam ripper to remove the parts of the dress that you don't like.

3 Purchase fabric for your dress. If you have followed Step 3, you will have half a dress at this point. Bring a sample of the fabric with you and find a fabric that coordinates. If you are not going to use part of a previous dress, then choose a dress fabric that you like.

4 The dress pattern you purchase can be for then entire dress, or for a part of the dress. As you look through patterns and styles, look past the entire dress and instead look for parts of the dress that you like. Think about parts of the prom dresses you can leave out of the design. Avoid buying patterns that look difficult to alter.

5 Make sketches of your dress using different parts of different patterns and of your existing dress. Take time to dream about the dress draw many different options. Your individual dress design will begin to emerge.
