I NEED A FORMAL GOWN!!!!!

I attend a lot of balls being in the Order of the Eastern Star *click for more information*  I am going to a ball on June 4th and I need a gown.

The gown pictured above is from Sidney’s Closet…. great site that has plus size prom dresses, formal gowns, and wedding dresses and you can custom order from them.  The Dress above is $329.00, but I have no time to order from them, nor do I feel like hitting Macy’s or Nordy’s looking for a dress…. So I am going to do what I do….Make a dress….

I am going to make a formal maxi dress, I Heart Maxi dresses….

Here are the patterns I am thinking about:

This Last one is Butterick 5419

I am leaning towards the Simplicity 2580 view D dress, with a sequins bodice and a satin skirt.

Here is the sequins I think I am going to get or something in this style:   I would pair it with a wine colored satin or black satin

This fabric is from Vogue Fabrics in Chicago it is $25.00 a yard

So my Fashion Divas tell me what you think of my idea so far….I am going shopping this weekend for fabrics…Wish me luck…

Love Peace and Happy Sewing….
