the handmade prom: 4 styles

the reddest dress: signed digital print by MichelleBrusegaard

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

i don't know about you... but when i was a teenager i was prom crazy! the fun of dressing up in fun dresses, dancing the night away with dear friends and the celebration of the end of an academic era was a thrilling idea!

'tis the season again soon.
i see our neighbourhood teenage friends talking prom.
i see fun DIY prom ideas across the internet.
and i'm so proud of the young handmade movement for incorporating handmaking into their prom festivities! so here's to the iconic event: the prom! and here are 4 handmade styles to cheer on!

did you ever go to a prom? what did you wear? ... myself... 3 prom dress highlights were certainly: a crazy mint green flapper dress, with the highest heels i've ever worn in my whole life! a full-length ball-gown with silvery bolero jacket to another. and a fully sequined straight ballgown in royal blue glittery craziness to another! oh the styles!

have a great time @ your prom, lovely graduates...
and a trip down memory lane, to us old-timers! :)
