Hi Everyone,
It's my daughter's prom year...she had her eye on a very inexpensive frock but of course never got round to ordering it and now it is sold out!
This is a piccie of the dress (I hope)

Now the question is does anyone have any good sites where I could get a pattern to make something similar, its the drop waist, fitted ccorset type top and beading that appeals to her
In anticipation many thanks
Becks

Re: Pattern needed for a prom dress
Can't really help with pattern sources becks, but I did have a thought.
If you can't find a pattern for a dress, what about looking for a pattern for the corset - it wouldn't be too difficult to extend and the skirt looks to be fairly easy to make without a pattern.

Becks, I couldn't see the photo? (Although I'm not great with facebook, could be me).
Sounds fantastic though, I'm glad she liked it!
