The very first step that you make your own dress is the get the right materials. Generally, the sewing itself is not the difficult part of doing a <a href="http://www.shillas.co.uk/wedding-events/prom-dresses/prom-dresses-2015/" title="prom dress 2016">prom dress 2016</a>. The hard part is dealing with the unique characteristics of the special fabrics you are using. Therefore, please have a clear idea about what fabric that you apply.

The second point is taking care with the material. Most <a href="http://www.shillas.co.uk/wedding-events/prom-dresses/long-prom-dresses/" title="long prom dress">long prom dress</a> materials (satin, lace, silk, velvet) are dry-clean only and have other special care instructions (cool iron only, etc). Some also have the annoying characteristic of being slippery to handle (need a lot of pins), fibers "catch" and pull when sewing (your machine may need a new, sharp, needle), or they fray easily (tape or iron interfacing along all raw edges before assembling the garment). These difficult to manage characteristics are why we like the look and feel of the material, as well as why dresses made from these materials are so expensive and difficult to make! If you met difficulties this step, I have my own choice which is quite simple: go visit <a href="http://www.shillas.co.uk" title="Shillas">Shillas</a> and get your favourite.

Other than that, buy all necessary notions such as hooks, eyes, zippers, buttons, lace, hemming lace, Interfacing, etc. online if you can’t find them local. Check the pattern for a list of needed items. Then cut out the pattern pieces that you will need. These come in large sheets of tan tissue, with several pieces printed per sheet. You will need to cut out the ones you will use and put the others away. Please be attention on the cutting recommendations given in the pattern. Some recommended layouts will specify that the material is to be folded in half lengthwise or perhaps laid out in a single layer. Pay attention or you could end up with less of a dress than you expected! Please don’t forget that above. If you made things wrong, just go visit shillas and you can get yours in time.

All important factors have been provided. An additional step is to add your own design with beads, feathers and other fun extras. These things will be sewn by hand using thread, which might be better with the same color as the <a href="http://www.shillas.co.uk/" title="short prom">short prom</a>.
