I thought since we were looking at vintage wedding dress patterns that it would be fun to look at the wonderful styles of patterns that you could use to sew your own prom dress!
Allot of Bridesmaid Dress Patterns can also be used for Prom Dress Patterns with little or no change in style or fit! I love this vintage pattern from 1947. The cute peplum skirt really adds allot of style to this dress! The length can be short or long, whichever you prefer. That's the great thing about designing your own prom dress, besides you will have the only dress like it!
This pattern, as well as other cute formal dress patterns, can be found at my store - sassybydesign!
There are so many different options to prom dresses today. I found a great article that gives some wonderful advice on how to design your very own prom dress! The author writes:
