A blue prom dress

In June 2016 there will be a prom to celebrate the end of me and my friends finished eduction as silence majors and what kind of crafter would I be if I didn't sew my own gown? I Was thinking something blue, draped and flowy with a train and this is the first pleating test. 






 Some of the inspiration gowns,


Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly in to catch a thief, LOVE the colour!

Tulle skirt

Tulle is a rather cheap fabric and you can never have enough skirts so I had to make a tulle skirt for spring and forthcoming 50's events.
Wonderful tulle! It looks so pretty

The fabric is folded in half and gathered, way too puffy for me

The finished skirt, four circle cut layers with an elastic waistband.

A circle underskirt but it will definitely be used as an everyday skirt.
The tulle skirt over the grey underskirt, Just enough volume without looking like a costume


 I definitely enjoyed making this, it took me approximately two hours with the cost of  € 21.
