i would love to make a prom dress that is basically to floor length, which i would like to have a basic shell, covering with the yards i have to work with...if anyone reads Vogue, and just bought the september issue....the John Galliano dress that Kirsten Dunst was wearing for the photoshoot about "Queen Elizabeth"....the white dress with those pink/champagne silk ribbons and an overall white background with the trims is the basic style that i would like to work with.....i am assuming it would be safer to follow a pattern first...and then attach any additional accessories (ribbons, ruffles, trims....) afterwards.....is it supposed to be cheaper if i make the dress myself (despite the fact that it's definitely time and effort)....i would much rather prefer making my own prom dress compared to buying because i am planning to major in fashion design/studies so i am extremely excited to start this project.....thank you so much for all your help guys...and fashion fanatics!!! HELLPPPPP!!!!!

What size dress? Straight or full skirt? How long (your height and heel height)? Cut straight or on the bias??? Two piece pattern or a sheath?
If you send me a picture or drawing of the dress, your height and basic three measurements I may be able to help you.

Depending on your size and the dress design, a good estimate is around 4-5 yards, and yes, ALWAYS make your shell or even FINISH the dress if you can, before you start detailing it out. The fabric also has to be ironed while you are making the dress (fold-overs ironed in, creases, etc) so be sure to use steam to keep your fabrics looking good.

I am looking... Give me a few minutes... In the meantime, how good are YOU at sewing?
Ahhhhhhhhh...
You are Wrong.... It is NOT "Queen Elizabeth (I or II) it is Marie Antoinette.
If THIS is what you are refering to:

I suggest you find a seamstress to design/sew it for you, but ask about prices FIRST.
Also, do a search on Antoinette costumes.

relies upon on how super your bust is. for proficient females, around neck shirts flatter the curves For not so proficient females, a v neck tee can cause them to seem greater beneficial than they are truthfully.
