In the wardrobe / Re: Remaking my prom dress
« on: December 14, 2017, 20:22:11 PM »
Thank you so much for all of your comments! I tried it with a petticoat and while it looked much better, I felt incredibly uncomfortable in it. I'm not sure if there's actually going to be a way to get to something I'm happy with from the original pattern.
I'm tempted to leave salvaging this one for another time and just make something simple out of the offcuts for the party, I have a couple of tried and tested patterns I could run up quickly. Or the other option is a black strapless dress that only needs a zip putting in and hemming (started 3 years ago so not quite as old as the prom dress!). I don't really have much else in my stash or ufo pile that would do for this.
I have plenty of time to sew but I need to finish my partner's outfit too, although that can't be fitted until next week.
