Prom Dresses, Bow Ties, Thread Heads

The retro black prom dress with the white poof is awesome! i want to learn how to make a dress like that!

They DO have proms in England, it's just a very recent thing. I had mine last month, it was great! x

i have always wanted a womans tux vest thats form fitting, but i saw how expensive they are. I was wondering if there was an easy way to make my own? have any ideas?

For my prom i wore a plain black dress (bought it at my aunts thrift store for 3 dollar!).... i sewed the side so they would be scrunched and look pinup style I got alot of praise for it being so simple and up to date.....My total cost for prom was $18 three for the dress and 15 for the ticket...it was great....great episode love threadbangers

can you get boning without shredding a dress?

I love this. I now have an idea with how to transform the "matronly" dressed my siblings gave me.

HEY i was wondering if corinne made the dress she was wearing in the episode (the chinese one) if you did, corrinne, sorry if i mispelled your name, can you show us how to make it??

I hear ya. I always feel badly for the previous piece as well.

OMG! That Chinese Dress Corinne was wearing! I was so thinking about making one of those for my prom dress! No Joke! I've still got a couple weeks. My mom is a seamstress. NORLY. That's her job. She's pretty amazing. Alterations, upholstery, custom clothing, you name it... she can do it. I'm sure she'll give me a hand. Peace out y'all!

Yay! Great episode! You managed to stuff a lot of info into 7 mins 5 seconds. I give this one two thumbs up (with thimbles!)

Fun episode. Love to see you guys out on the street, really great stuff. The music underneath this segment though reminded me of the Silver Shamrock commercials in Halloween 3, the one that prompted kids to put on the special masks which then resulted in all the children going mad and snakes and roaches crawling out of their faces. Yeah, not appropriate for Prom, but I have a memory corolation for the bizarre what can I say.

Prom time already? Ahh...memories...didn't go with anyone, but I had a rockin dress...course that was in my pre DYI days...sides I had more fun wearing my prom dress to the formal dances my Baptist Student Union held at college...good times good times...well I'm back from vacation and once I get my hands on a digital camera, I know exactly what I get to show off on the forums. My iron on applique shirt and my dresses I made for college formals. Stay tuned!

That was a cool dress you two made! Too bad people in England do not have a Prom;(

This episode was AWESOME!!!! also wondering if u guys know how to make a teddy bear back pack or something like that???

Can you guys help me out? I have to wear a kimono for foriegn language week, but I want to wear it in the traditional style in only one class. Is there a way to make it changeable? Like button a part up to make it more modern during one class, and unbutton it for foreign language? Thanks!

Do you have any suggestions for how to turn an XXL mens navy dress shirt into something cool, like a dress? That would be beastly!

I'm so glad there was a Pretty in Pink reference in this episode...that was all I could think about during the dress re-do.

yeah we hav proms in england!! my big sis's one is soon!!!so im gonna show her this!

I just had another thought on this. You show her adding boning to the corset. Is that in the tutorial anywhere?!? I can't find it and I need to extra strength otherwise it bunches all funny. Keep up the great work on your videos y'all!!!

I loved the black and white dress Corinne had on in the beginning! I thought at first she had made it because it was so nifty, lol. Some people just have no taste I guess. She looked smexy and fabulous. Part of that has to be her smokin' body though. Girl, you have it going on! I love the fact that you are so beautiful but not a sickly skinny nothing girl. You look healthy and fabulous. Reusing fabric from old ugly stuff is a great idea though. I once turned a pair of old curtains and an old couch into renaissance dresses for me and my best friend, lol.

I liked the dress before, too! But I also liked the after. It went by so quickly, though- can you post some photos of it in the blog?

Big love to ThreadBanger, I'm from England and we have prom... but it's kinda a new thing around here... totally in love with prom, one I find my dress I'll be almost set .My parents haved banned me from customising my dress... oh well, I'm allowed to do it for my next prom in 2 years, and again in uni. Woop!

This is sooo neato!To bad I am not going to prom yet.Next for sure:]

I actually really liked the dress that Corrine was wearing in the beginning. Didn't like the neck thing after she was done. The bow tie's material was a little off... but when it went together with the suit it actually went pretty good.

Love, love love the sapphire blue asian dress! It's high time the fashion world rediscovered BLUE!

It's probably not the greatest thing to advertise eBay when its sellers are on strike because of unfair price changes....

Can't wait to see your new show on Tuesday. It was so great to meet you both!!!

The tie will be MUCH easier to make, and probably lay flatter, if you pin your pattern to the interlining and sew it in when you sew the seam. Trim the literlning close to the seam line, turn and procede as instructed. The knot is just a square knot. If you were a Scout it will be easy. Happy DANCING!

TIP! For all you bustier gals out there: do your dress search now. Whether you DIY from an old dress or pattern or buy, boobs can be a big problem when it comes to those last few inches of the zipper. Tailoring is inevitable for some, so get estimates from tailors because they are super expensive. But if you have the skills, DIY.

!!! i totaly made a duck tape prom dress last year for a couple of my friends and me! but they definatly weren't crazy elaborate so we didn't enter. BUT we were the only ones at prom in duck tape so we were the stars!

haha... i was wondering.. [too bad i was late] durin a prom.. what would u do.. when someone wears the same dress as u...

Nice dress! Can't wait for the new show!!! XD

This is good

The best

Thank you

Corinne, you totally rock that blue qi pao!

I would really like the new Tuesday show to focus on fashion from all around the world. every week you could focus on a different part of the world and show how to make a more ready to wear version of the fashion of that country. Like the Chinese dress Corinne was wearing in this episode. you could call it around the world Tuesdays!

That dress was amazing before you started butchering it. Now it's like every other rubbish prom dress. Don't do it kids.

I love what you did with the dress...too bad I'm in college and don't have a prom to go to now :(

Killer episode, Rob & Corinne! Thank you for the enthusiastic announcement for the new show. I am THRILLED to be joining Threadbanger, and can't wait to see what DIY projects other Threadheads send in. xox

love it
