Weekly DIY Roundup: Handmade Prom Dresses!
Well it's that time again, Threadheads, time for some handmade prom dress inspiration! Last year here at Threadbanger, we gave you lots of handmade prom goodness, like Lindsey's Top 10 Most Wacky Dresses blog post, which included Adrienne Beiler's duct tape dress! See tons more duct tape dresses over at Stuck at Prom's contest page...
BurdaStyle is a great source for handmade dress inspiration - a search for "prom" brings up tons of creation results, like genvy's fuschia dress...
...and melonhead's awesome newspaper dress!
I found this one by Audra on weardrobe.com, which she designed herself:
Craftster.org is a fabulous place to find amazing handmade items of any kind, and prom dresses are no exception! The rest all come from craftster... starting with PhotoholicFreak's gorgeous creation, seen at the top of the post, and here's a top/side shot:
Colorxmexstupid7 made this amazing piece with help from her mom - love it!
Modliz reconstructed an old bridesmaid dress into this one:
Theperilouspopsicle made this incredible Skittles dress!
Hobaker created her "perfectly prom-pink nightmare" (haha) from costume shop supplies:
I love skarinja's lace creation - so detailed and beautiful!
And for a more modern look, I really love sakijane's green ribbon dress!
Thatgermangirl33 made this hand-printed dress for a friend to wear to prom (what a lucky friend!):
Maleficent posted this dress that her sister made for prom:
Iliketoknit created this hybrid "lumberjack prom dress" for a costume construction class project:
And lastly, Smarmyclothes has made a bunch of awesome prom dresses from t-shirts!! Love them!
I love seeing all the prom creations, since back when I was in high school (pre-Threadbanger, craftster, and everything else) it was so not cool to make things! I was a closet crafter and didn't really come out until mid-college. So I think it's so great to see all of you crafting teens proud of what you're making! Rock your scissors!! (And be sure to show us all your handmade prom wear, of course!)
