My Students

My Fashion students are enthusiastic, clever, and kind. They are eager to create garments from scratch, and show the most dramatic head-to-toe looks that they can come up with.

Being true to your style is not something I have to teach them.

Even without any prior experience, my students know what they want to make and will work hard to bring their designs to the runway (or the hallway). They are fearless, bold, and I am proud of their dedication.

My Project

I have requested a variety of fine fabrics for students to sew the base garment for their prom look. They will then use lace and embellishments to add glamour to their evening attire, including accessories.

My students have designed their dream prom attire in their minds.

These supplies will give them the opportunity to learn new skills, and create an original head-to-toe prom look without having to pay a high price tag.

For my students who intend to study fashion in college, evening wear is a great boost for their portfolios. Many students avoid evening wear at first because it is challenging, and when you're first learning to sew there is a high risk of failure. These materials will allow my students to take risks confidently; knowing that they have enough supplies with which to practice.
