Description
Here's the dress I made for myself for prom. : D I made three others for my friends, and ended up biting off more than I could chew. D; But I'm really happy with how they turned out. ^^I wanted something more elegant than I usually wear (I wear a lot of bright and obnoxious colors xD) but also something not so prom-like as the dresses people buy from Sparkles.
I didn't have any exact idea in mind so I ended up just buying a bunch of chiffon and seeing what would happen. xD I bought them in colors that matched the parasol fabric (which I was planning on making a corset out of) and was going to make an underdress to go with it. After I realized I wouldn't be able to survive the night in the corset, however, that idea changed.
So I ended up making a dress with the parasols as the bodice instead (the whole dress is one piece).I made it by heavily modifying Vogue's V2880 pattern. :]
Much thanks to ~EvaMayha for taking such beautiful photos for me. We both got extremely bit up by mosquitoes by our afternoon in the forest preserve. ._.

Yeah, all day in a corset is murder. It makes me wonder why I willingly do it so much... I like your design though, very fey-like ^_^

Wow, you've got a good color sense. All of those hues of chiffon look really good together and play well off the er... parasol fabric, was it? I really like how the angle of the skirt and the top of the parasol fabric pull one's vision to that one side. It's very flattering. ...I must say that I'm not really one for sewing and fashion in general, but this dress managed to catch even my attention. It's something that really appeals to me over the bland trash they sell in dress stores (at exorbitant prices). I would have loved to wear something like this to my prom back in '08.
