I can't believe prom is already over! Where did I get my dress you ask? I made it! Well, most of it... I actually took a vintage beaded dress that I found at Goodwill, and resized/ redesigned it to fit me and the style I was going for. To be honest, it turned out much better than I had expected! Here is a picture of the dress before:
As you can see, the fit and design is quite old fashioned, so I decided to shorten it, take off the sleeves and bring up the neckline. I ended up cutting it in half, shortening the two pieces, rewrapping the wrap skirt part, and sewing it back together with a brand new zipper. Let me tell you, it takes a lot of patience... I had to hammer the beads off before sewing, and I had to carefully rip seams and figure out how to actually make the thing fit haha. Not to mention I hand sewed it all because the beaded fabric was so difficult! And then I added a tulle skirt underneath that I made removable in case I wanted to wear the dress short for a different occasion. Blood, sweat and tears ladies and gentlemen. Fashion is hard work.
Anyways, here is the finished product!
Overall, I had such an amazing time! I went to dinner before the dance, and then we got frozen yogurt! And after the dance we went out for another dinner because, you know, all that dancing burns your calories haha. Oh my goodness, I almost forgot... there was a chocolate fountain AND they had a cup full of BACON! Bacon and chocolate is actually a pretty good combo actually... Don't judge! But anyways, it was so great hanging out with my amazing date and all my friends! Everyone looked gorgeous, it was a great way to end my senior year! Hope you guys have a fabulous day and PROM!!!
XO, Lauren
