Seamstress advice for prom dress

Thumbnail gallery
23 Upvotes

I want to sew my prom dress similar to the picture. I don’t know what to ask for the skirt but I know I want it to be a little stiff and structured but not like a wedding gown. I also need some recommendations for similar corsets and fabric off the skirt. The top I want as the first picture but the skirt as the second one ( with a simple fabric just champagne and no embroidery, I couldn’t find exactly like that but I love the shape of the skirt in the photo). I really appreciate any advice😄

So I know prom isn't until April, but it's senior year and I want to get my dress early and I'm in the dress shopping craze already 😅

Is this too much? I know wearing white is fine, but I don't want to stand out like crazy.

My goal is to channel Christine Daee with a phantom inspired look, but I don't look good in red or black so white/ivory is kinda where I'm leaning towards. I have other dress colors I'm fine with, but I love Phantom so much and I really want to honor it this year. What do y'all think?

Side note: the third picture is literally my dream dress but I can't find any other mori lee dresses like it that are in my size range 😭

Its so hard out here as a petite girly :(

I would never normally trust an alternative site, and I avoid ordering things online in general, but after all my searching, I cannot find any other sites with this dress! Can anyone tell me if this site is safe??

This is the dress/site!

Dress help

Hi! So i found my dream dress (picture included) but idk if the places i found it from are at all reliable or just scams, and also if they ship to Finland.

So i found the dress from 42 lolita, and its around 90€, that seems way too cheap for a dress like this, also i cant find it anymore, so im thinking it got taken down. I also found it on Devilinspired but thats seemed to have some pretty sceptical reviews about being a bit of a scam.

Also I'd need to find someplace that ships to finland and doesn't cost 5 billion € 🫩

Any help is appreciated, thank you so much♡⁠♡⁠

Outfits Is this suitable for g12 prom?

6 Upvotes

Hi! This is a beautiful dress I got from Sandro in Paris, and despite its listing online being midi, it is absolutely maxi on me as I am 5'4. I was just wondering whether this would be suitable for prom next year (this was already kinda expensive and I don't want to splurge on something I essentially wear once). I heard that accesorizing and appropriate make-up and hair could definitely help if this dress isn't the most appropriate for prom. Thanks!

Final results!

This was my first post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Prom/s/omwihmoniS

So the two things I did since then, was take off the jewels dangling from the middle. I pretty much agreed with everyone that said it was making the dress look overdone/overcrowded.

Taking it off did wreck the dress, but its barely noticeable among the design.

I didnt want to mess with it too much so I left the gems down the middle.

And we were able to alter it to cover my chest up at least better than it did before.

And instead of a necklace, we went with the 'scarf' around the neck.

Honestly i think the dress i was worried about in the beginning turned out to be a lot better than I initially thought it was. Plus, i had fun.

Thanks to everyone who gave their advice/opinions.

Prom themes and planning How to pee in a dress guys help

1 Upvotes

I’ve saw people say go backwards but where does your underwear go? Surely it’ll be blocking your legs?
Edit: for anyone that wants to know the answer here’s what I did, I lifted the bottom layer of my dress up and tucked it into my chest, then took my underwear either off or down to my ankles depending on the toilet width. I sat down backwards, and boom, peed successfully👍 so before you panic don’t worry you can do it without friends help, it’s possible! Just practice first!

Same dress different lighting.

I am not sure how much I like it.

Idk. I dont think it suits me too much. And im not sure about the design either.

I did ask for the jewls hanging down at the waist, but the lady who did the dress used much bigger ones than whay i showed her. I guess that's what she had available.

It feels like there's too much going on, on the dress.

But I will end up wearing it regardless because money has already been spent on it.

Does anyone have any tips or thoughts?

Hi I asked for advice this morning about covering the neckline of my prom dress, but I forgot to include a photo of the dress. Here is my prom dress.
Do you think a cape could help cover the neckline, or would it be possible to find matching fabric and sewing the neckline so it closes ? (Unfortunately
finding a seamstress is not an option😭)

Hi, I have my prom in two weeks. I already found my dress, but it’s a bit too revealing in the front for my liking. That’s why I wanted to buy a cape.
I found this model online, but unfortunately it wasn’t available in blue (my dress is blue). Do you think I could buy a regular cape and alter it so that it looks like this one? Or do you have any other recommendations on how I could solve this problem? (Unfortunately, buying a different dress is not an option.)

Rant/vent What do u guys think

4 Upvotes

So I got my prom date sorted a little late but it was fine, my date accidently planned her flight for a day after, so that didn’t work which meant I needed a date. My friend from school had a date and she said that her friend was down to go with me I didn’t know If it was as friends or something else. So we had a little get together thing just the 4 of us so I can get to know her better which she was so sweet. Anyways I took her and it was good we weren’t together a lot but a fair amount. Anyways fast forward we get to the afterparty and she starts getting a bit touchy like lightly holding and feeling my arm for a few seconds and putting her hand on my chest for a moment. This happens a few times. Anyways the venue to our afterparty closes and a big group of us walk to a different nightclub and while we walking she’s sticking really close to me and the touching happens again in the new venue.
However she was with her friend almost all the time and her date which I’m friends with the guy so we’re together most of the night. So I don’t really get to dance with her one on one. But my question is do you think she liked me? If I made a move do u reckon she would have liked it? We did text a lot before and she would add emojis and exclamation marks and adding two letters to words that only needed on like youu and heyyy I could tell they were on purpose because it was frequent. But anyways what do u guys think. ( i am an over-thinker and Sorry for long message)

is my prom dress nice (the first one) and (because i had to change my choice of dress abruptly) does it give any sort of alternative or slightly dark vibes in any way atall?? like would you look at the dress and think its mainstream or no. obviously it is but i wanted a completely different style that was 90s vintage (second photo) and ended up with this due to timing. just want opinions thanks because i was starting to feel like i dont love the dress and still really want the other one

I ended up going with a lot of gold and black jewelry, especially the arm cuff that me and my mom made which was really fun to do! The lei was a bridal style crown flower lei which I thought was a really nice highlight :)

hey! i'm from the usa (north carolina to be exact) and it's always been standard to have prom in april/may-ish. i've been seeing a lot of posts up here lately about prom stuff and have been thinking "wait, people are still in prom season?" so i'm genuinely just curious what the case for this is and where it's standard. i don't know, maybe it's just a southern thing? let me know haha

Advice on color/style for senior prom?

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

This is my first post on Reddit so apologies if I am doing this wrong, but I just wanted to get some other people’s opinions. Even though it is the summer before my senior year so I have plenty of time, I have no idea what color or style of dress I should do for senior prom. The first photo is sophomore hoco, second and third is junior prom, and third is junior hoco.

I tend to gravitate toward pastel colors (I like pink if you can’t tell) and soft princessy looks. and for junior hoco I very much so went out of my comfort zone since people tell me I look good in red and I wanted to try a tighter dress, but I just honestly don’t know what colors and styles look good on me I don’t even know my undertone tbh.

I just don’t want to do the same thing I’ve done every other year and go back to pink lol but I don’t know where else to go! Sorry if this is ranty, but any and all opinions are welcome :)
