If you are thinking of making your own dress this year, there is no time like the present to start looking for the right prom dress patterns. With plenty of designs to choose from, the pattern manufacturers make them for a wide range of skill levels.
Skill Level
Before you decide on the perfect dress pattern, it is important to honestly assess your skill level as a seamstress. How much experience do you have sewing? Have your experiences been limited to making an apron or potholder for home economics class? If so, you need to choose an easy pattern for your first dress. Luckily, these simple prom dress patterns are easy to find in the pattern catalogs at your local fabric store. The patterns themselves are usually labeled easy on the envelope so you can find them quickly in the pattern file drawers.
For those individuals that have a little more experience sewing, more difficult patterns can be chosen. One important consideration before choosing a pattern is… do you know how to put a zipper into a garment? If you don’t know how to do this, and there is no one else to help you, skip patterns that require zippers. There are still plenty of patterns to choose from that only require snaps, buttons, hook-and-eye closures or even Velcro. Zippers are challenging, even for the most experienced seamstresses.
