Description
This is my junior prom dress I made! I love it, and I had a blast wearing my own creation to the prom. I chose the cate pattern, and lengthened it 3 inches. It was a tough squeeze, my aunt helped me scramble to put the zipper in and hem it the morning of!
Material Notes
sheer shimmery material, silky lining to match

Looks a little casual for a prom dress but it is pretty. A little nightgownish though.

i’ve been away so long i missed your prom dress! as usual, brilliant. and of course you pulled off cate. i wanted to kill myself on my cate (which is still folded up in the “mending” pile, also known as the Area Of Death).
you have such a good eye for detail. your creations always look like they were waiting to be born just for you.

This is really beautiful. The bodice looks perfect (I would have trouble with this). Very nice!

It’s so pretty! You look so sweet and romantic in it! It reminds me of some sort of fairy tale girl, like Wendy from Peter Pan, but all grown up. You look beautiful, great job! And I’ll bet you had a blast wearing a dress you made yourself! If I had a prom, I’d want to wear my own work too! Congratulations on another stunning creation.
