Hi Everyone ,

 I am looking for a free , formal ,prom ,wedding , dress pattern for my daughter , she is 17 ,& no she is not getting married , she is a senior in high school , and will probably be valedictorian , & soon be off to college , I just want any special occasion dress that I can alter to a prom dress !

 I have searched high and low on the internet , & have come up with not much , with the economy the way it is free is all I can afford . I ask for crochet because I am better at that than knitting , but , knit will do just as well !

PLEASE HELP ME ANY & ALL HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED !

THANKS A MILLION !

I don't know if this will help you or not.  I think these are sewing patterns.  I will look for crocheted/knitted ones for you.  You may have to join a yarn site for these kinds of things.  Like Lion Brand Yarn, Bernat, etc.

Hi Julie,

Check the above sight out and scroll down until you get the Off-the-Shoulder Evening Jumper.  The pattern calls it a jumper, but to me it is like a modern style outfit.  Off the shoulders is very desirable for young ladies now and if you knit or crocheted a very lacy light shawl to go with it, this pattern might do nicely.  Off course I would think that you would want to knit it up in a color becoming of the event.

Good luck with this and let me know what you think.  Zoe

Prom Dresses designed dress is a mermaid style dress with a sweetheart neckline, a lace-up back, a red bow on the back area, and ruffle layers expanding out from mid-thigh area to the floor. The labelled picture should explain better. As for the colour and material of the dress!!!

Hi Julie,

I don't know how far along you have gotten in your search for a dress/gown pattern.  The above site has a simple elegant knit gown.  Please check it out.

Oodles of crocheted dresses on this site.  You can make them as long or short as you want.    Zoe
