J&O Fabrics (www.jofabrics.com)is having a 'Pretty in Pink Handcrafted Prom Dress" Contest currently running that can earn you a $50 Amex Gift Card to spend as you wish, wherever you wish. Last day to enter a pic is JUNE 13TH, 2010. Don't think they are judging on the model, but they certainly are judging on originality! If you get this in time, You should go for it.
OMG! This is so amazing! i'd love to wear something like that to the gala my highschool is holding. can you tell me how you made the bodice and if there was anything under the folded sheets of the skirt?
I love it. Im working on a duct tape a magazine dress right now. Its acually really easy to work with when you back all the magazine with tape, them cut it into your design and sew :] Amazing job!
Thanks again for the new comments! And I saw your skirt Heather, I actually spent sometime studying for inspiration and just to see what other people had done with a project such as this.
Oh my goodness yes, but not by choice. By the end of the judging, the wind had ripped the thing nearly to shreds. I was really upset because I wanted to keep it but I've gotten over it.
Thanks a bunch! This dress literally killed me and stressed me out til no end, and just hearimg compliments towards is seriously the sweetest thing ever.
