High School Girl Crochets Her Own Prom Dress and it Goes Horribly Wrong Before Becoming Incredibly Beautiful

Everyone wants to be original on their prom night. We’ve all seen every cliche prom movie or read books about the prom and honestly it’s all pretty contrite. Turns out, nowadays the only way to be truly original is to do all your own shiz yourself and if that means making your own prom dress, power to ya.

We’ve all seen the old Youtube deep dive videos of girls making starburst wrapper dresses, or paper mache dresses, or even the fabled can topper dress from 2005, but with crochet tops coming back into style lately, this Gen Z goddess decided to make her dress out of yarn.

Make a prom dress with me!

So we start with this journey with the plan and the design that she wanted for the dress. Obviously she’s done something like this before because the drawings are professional level. She clearly has no hesitation because she dives right in.

So excited for this

She started with the top half first, which feels like the most tedious part detail-wise. I can’t help but wonder how see-through this will end up, but this is her prom dress, not mine, so we simply gotta just hold on and see what comes next.

I made a mistake

About two weeks later, our heroine realizes that she’s made a glorious mistake. Almost all the work she’d done already with the top half of the dress was BACKWARDS and needed to be redone. Woof. Clocks ticking on this one sis!

Part 4: Nearly there

Time to start the fitted skirt part. Honestly there’s just SO much yarn involved with making a floor length knitted dress, it’s insane. Plus, God forbid you make a small mistake and have to start an entire section over from scratch.

THE FINAL PRODUCT

Kay so we’re obsessed. I’m knot sure how we got to this point (get it?), but the final product is simply amazing. It fits her like a glove, it’s super hot, and of course, nobody else will ever have this dress at her prom.

WOW. All the hard work paid off.

Cheeky lil back view for ya’ll
