5 Simple Ways to Create a Prom Dress
You can make a short dress for prom if you prepare the things you will need, take your measurements, fold the first scarf to make the top, begin making the skirt, and work on the second scarf.
One of the top priorities most girls have in attending prom is to wear something unique for the event. However, it’s surprisingly difficult to find robe de soirée that are unique in style. You can make a fashionable and unique prom dress if you have basic sewing skills, and even a small budget. Follow the steps below:
Prepare the things you will need
You will need to prepare the following materials to make your own short prom dress: 3 elegant 36 or 48-inch scarves, a measuring tape, scissors, sewing machine, thread, double-sided tape, and elastic with a 2-inch allowance than your waist size.
Get your dimensions
To know the sizes of the fabric to use, take your measurements before working with your materials. Find the size of your natural waist by using a measuring tape. The distance of the middle of your bust and armpit should be measured next. In order to get the measurement of the dress’ length, your height must be multiplied in inches by 1.5.
Make the top using the first scarf
Take one scarf and fold it corner to corner to create the upper half of your dress. Make the point hang over your belly by laying it over your bust. Hold both ends, join them behind your back and then tie them up. Attach the double-sided tape to the inner part of the scarf fold and the part over your bust to keep the fabric from falling off your body.
Begin making the skirt
The skirt is crafted in two phases. Leaving a remaining of 18 inches, fold one scarf in half and then seam one side. To be able to move comfortably, include an allowance of 2 inches in the hip area. A 2-inch casing and 4-inch stitching on the edge will be done with the top turned over. You will need to make adjustments to the skirt’s length and, in order to do this, you will need to turn over the casing edge about 2 times. Once the elastic is inserted, sew its ends together. Finish sewing the casing.
Start crafting the second scarf
First, cut the second scarf diagonally then hem one of the cut pieces with a rolled handkerchief hem. Hem the raw end of the second side with a 3-inch finished hem. Connect the upper edges by stitching them together. When doing this, be sure to lay the shorter part over the longer one. Go into the dress where the elastic is inserted. Now, tie the triangular second piece so that the knot lies over the open seam on the right side.
Be as imaginative and as creative in making this project to come up with a one-of-a-kind prom dress.
