80's Prom Dresses!

May 12, 2010 18:55

So me and Graham will be attending an 80's prom later this month. So today I pulled out all of my crazy fabrics, tulles, and tights, and stared at them for some time before coming up with several different sketches. Trying to decide on which I like best, what do you guys think?

( Cut for Largeness and Pink Houndstooth )

I like the first and third, but I'm partial to the fabric for the second one.

My thoughts exactly.

I've figured out how to combine the design of the third, but the fabric of the second. I'm pretty psyched. :D

BTW, me and Graham would like to see you sometime soon(along with Melissa and Brian)!

I have come up with a good solution, and am going to do the third design, but with the houndstooth and a black casa satin! :D

Also voting 3rd design as best design!

Awesome, thanks~ Going to start on this today, I think, and post progress shots as I go along. :D

Third design is best! My sister and I have much experience in the 80's prom category - if this is something to boast of, I am unsure.

Oh man I wish -I- had experience in the 80's prom category, that is TOTALLY worth boasting about! X3

Also, your icon is sort of awesome.

I vote that you find shoes like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/GOLD-METALLIC-BOW-Vintage-80s-BALLERINA-FLATS-Shoes-8-5-/310160130236?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Vintage_Shoes&hash=item4836fc00bc and maybe some gold gloves to match, bahahaha.

I also have a ton of faux jewelry somewhere, if you wants to borrow. I bet I could find something purple.

3rd design seems the most 80's! I like the pink houndstooth fabric but the 2nd design doesn't really scream prom OR 80's to me. BIG SLEEVES AND/OR BIG BOWS REQUIRED.

kichara May 13 2010, 18:14:53 UTC

I remembered this morning that I actually had a good amount of black casa left over from Hamel, so I'm going to use that and the pink houndstooth to make the third design. :D And yeah, big bows and sleeves are pretty important. I sort of hate sleeves in general though, so I opted for big bows instead. XD

Third, third third!
