Helen asks…

What type of prom dress would look best on my body type?

I’m 16 and prom is right around the corner. I’ve been looking at a ton of dresses but not sure exactly what type would flatter me best. I’m very short only 5’0” and I definitely have hips and a butt haha. But I have pretty slender arms and I’m willing to show off my back a little bit. I really would like a dress that makes me look a little taller. I tried on a mermaid gown and actually liked it, but I’m still not totally convinced. Pictures would also be great and I’m really only looking for full length dresses since it is prom. Thanks so much!

Charles asks…

What type of prom dress should I buy?

I’m going to my prom this year I believe, and I don’t know what type is best for my body! I’ve always strayed away from long dresses, but I’m ready to give it a try if I find the right one. I’m 5’5″, and curvy. (Boobs, hips, butt)

Vickie answers:

I have a few nieces in high school and I hear that vintage dresses are “in” this year….formal, long, ruffles and lace. You look like you could pretty much pull any dress off, but I’d bet a red & black spanish-style would look awesome on you :)

Something along these lines:

sewing a prom dress

I made a prom dress recently, and decided to film some of it. While this isn’t really a full on tutorial, it will give budding designers and fashionistas alike an idea of what goes into making a dress. 1. Draft a sloper. I take a piece of fabric and I drape it over the person. I cut away any fabric that is obviously in the way (armholes, neck hole, etc.). And then I pin it in a few key places to anchor (the apex of the bust and the center seam). Then I smooth the fabric with my hand to move any wrinkles into darts. There are basically 3 places you should make darts: -waist to bust -side to bust -shoulder These can be adjusted, moved, or rotated later, if you so wish. Once I am satisfied with the sloper, I will sketch the outline of the dress that I want. For example, for this dress I would have sketched in a v-neckline, ad then also sketched in a curved, scooped back. 2. I cut the pattern up. First along the outline/shape that was sketched in, and then along the darts or side seams. I then lay this piece of fabric on a some graph paper and sketch it’s outline. The paper I use is genius. It’s that big graph paper that, like, math teachers use. I was looking for big graph paper to draft patterns with, and I went to several art stores looking for what I had in mind. And while I could find a lot of graph paper pads that were big enough, the graph itself was too small, Like 1mm grid. And while technically this would work, the tiny grid was just to small to be helpful, since
