I finally got around to joining the forums after lurking for a few months.
This is from my prom, from 3 years ago. The dress/outfit has numerous parts so it can be interchanged and re-configured into a few different styles.
My favorite part, the reversible capehttp://farm2.static.flickr.com/1210/773000121_f210b1ad63.jpg
Red on one side, black on the other with stitched pattern (you can kinda see it here through the red).
Dress without cape

It's a classic black sleeveless dress with a trail. I also made a crinoline underlay to bring the gown out (basically an old slip built up with tooling).
The black dress has a black mesh overlay attached at the top to the red ribbons you see (5 more on the back holding it together all tied into large bows).

The bottom torn tooling skirt you see is attached like the black mess overlay on a red strip, tied again into a bow. The tooling strips where made by cutting/tearing strips of tooling in different widths. Slash the sides of all you tooling strips, as randomly as possible so they are tattered and ragged. Then taking three to four strips and layering them widest to thinnest and stitching them up the middle (allowing them to gather). Then fridge/mess up /fluff the strips so they lay in different directions.
All together nowhttp://farm2.static.flickr.com/1287/773051181_41e986d3ef.jpg
So this is the petticoat underneath, then the sleeveless black dress, with mess overlap and red ribbons in the back, the tooling skirt on top and then the cape.
