Prom Inspiration

It is Prom season and daughter #2 got asked to go to Mormon Prom here in a couple weeks.
She is excited.
This will be her first one.

Originally she wanted this skirt

Which we did find a pattern for it.  McCalls 7124
It would need so MUCH fabric.
I know I could do it, but I wasn't sure I really wanted to.

However, then she saw this and decided this was more like what she wanted.

We'll make it more modest--no bare midriff or back, and she wants short, possibly elbow length sleeves.
The skirt is what sold her on it.

And here is the fabric we found.

Jo-Ann Stores Simply Silky Prints Cosmos Poppy Spray Peachskin

Find it here.

Then we all bought some red performance fabric (think leotard or swim fabric) to go with.  She just wants a plain top to go with the fun skirt.

This is going to be so pretty once we are all done.
I'm excited for her.
And really this is going to be easy to sew together.

  1. Thank goodness she went with the second skirt ~ so much easier! (and less expensive...) The nettie bodysuit would be perfect for the top, because there wouldn't be any 'blousing' caused by movement in a regular tucked in t shirt. Although - YOU could just mash together a tshirt and swimsuit pattern and end up with the same thing :-)

    happy making ~ Tracy

    1. We almost turned it into a dress with the red top attach to the skirt but luckily we found some red stretchy fabric

    1. Sorry, I just posted the reveal today.
      We were having computer issues, among other things.
