Making me own prom dress
Making my own prom dress was honestly one of the most stressful but rewarding things I’ve ever done. This was my first time ever sewing something this big, and I was scared at first because I had never sewn before and my hand sewing wasn’t the best. I kept worrying that I would mess it up or that it wouldn’t turn out how I imagined. There were moments where I felt frustrated and wanted to give up, but I stayed focused and kept trying. Little by little, I started to understand what I was doing, and everything began coming together. In the end, I actually finished the dress, and I was so proud of myself. It turned out better than I expected, and knowing I made it myself made it even more special. What do you guys think submitted by /u/doeverythingmysel to r/SewingForBeginners [link] [comments]

Made my prom dress
I made my own senior prom dress!! 🫶 It’s a full A-line ballgown with a strapless bodice, and I used vintage silk from an old kimono, so it felt really special getting to connect with my heritage while also giving the fabric a new life. The silk is super lightweight, so figuring out structure and support was definitely a challenge, but I love how flowy it turned out. I also spent a lot of time placing the patterns so the designs wouldn’t get cut off and would move nicely with the dress. I took these photos outside in winter lighting to really show the fabric along with some at an atrium. Would love to hear what you guys think ❤️❤️ (The last three photos are my absolute favorites) submitted by /u/Weirdo_and_Weirder to r/Prom [link] [comments]

RE:Dressing Young 2026
It’s so confusing with these different dress codes. I think as long as folks dress in clothes they’d b happy to be seen in at a nice restaurant (maybe avoiding black or white or too dressy or too casual), all should be fine. Mainly don’t look like you just went to gym or beach or similar and not going to a prom.

Where to buy prom dresses
I need a prom dress, but I don't want it to look like anyone else's. I need it in black, navy blue, or burgundy. I'm looking for any stores with super unique shapes and designs while still being elegant or "high class" looking if that makes sense. (ABSOLUITLY NO SEQUENS) Also anything that leans toward a more gothic style but not enough that it looks stereotypical. Nothing cheap ether, as someone who has never owned a dress I want this one to last a long time so I can wear it to other special occasions afterwards like a formal dinner. I also need the dress to be available in my size, I'm sort of thin but also balanced, sort of like the stereotypical model type except shorter? I have a really hard time finding clothes that fully fit me without being lose anywhere. The only measurements I know about myself are that I'm 5'4, a B cup, and my waist is 24'. Any online stores you recommend? I live in the Orange County aria if you know of any in person shops as well. Also I added some rough references but none of them are quite what I'm looking for. ALSO I ADORE THE VERY SPECIFIC COLOR ON THE LAST DRESS I ADDED BUT IDK WHAT ITS CALLED😭 submitted by /u/OkMixture7200 to r/findfashion [link] [comments]

Made my own prom dress
I wanted to share a project I revisited during our snowmageddon downtime. This is a senior prom dress I designed and made using vintage silk from an old kimono, connecting with my heritage while giving the fabric a new life. The dress is an A-line ballgown with a strapless bodice—clean and structured on top, flowing through the skirt. I paid careful attention to pattern placement to keep motifs intact and maintain a sense of movement. The silk is lightweight and untreated, which influenced construction and finishing, especially around support and durability. I photographed it briefly outdoors in winter light to highlight the drape and contrast of the fabric. I’d love feedback from other designers—especially on working with delicate vintage silks and translating traditional textiles into modern formalwear. Thanks for looking! submitted by /u/Weirdo_and_Weirder to r/sewing [link] [comments]

Can this prom dress be reworn?
I’ll probably take this post down but my mom convinced me to buy a pricey prom dress senior year with the idea that we’d split the bill, but I worry it may have been a waste if I’m unable to rewear it.

Prom dress advice needed hehe
I ended up buying this prom dress!! but now I'm second guessing it and feel like l'm not a fan. It's my senior prom and I want my dream dress and I feel like I messed up haha.🥲 I wanted a blue or gold dress so I feel less confident in black. But I would lose money if I sold it and got something else, so it will be my dress! Just need some words of encouragement and how to style it!! Up do or down with hair? Would gold jewelry look good? (Im a big gold girl) but there are silver ish rhinestones on the dress. Black, red, or gold heels? I really want to look good and feel good on my senior prom and although I do find this dress very pretty i feel like I made a big mistake and could look better in something else/ o feel like it’s a nice dress but it doesn’t suit me. So l'm very sad. Any advice? :) submitted by /u/okkosinn to r/teenagers [link] [comments]
