We asked the BuzzFeed Community to show off their DIY prom dresses and the results are quite stunning. Check 'em out:
1. A strapless blue stunner that turned the streets of Dallas into Nicole's personal runway!!

2. A gold-embellished floor sweeper channeling some serious ~old Hollywood glam~. And that elegant hair swoop, I cannot!!

3. A darling revamped gown with a silhouette-patterned top Anne found and sewed on herself — because we like mixing the old and new here, okurrr?

4. A two-toned twirler with — 🚨 alert the authorities 🚨 — POCKETS!!! If that's not reason enough to dust off your sewing machine, I don't know what is.

5. A silky red gown that's the IRL embodiment of the 💃 emoji, but a thousand times better IMHO.
6. A classic but alluring black number that deserves a medal for its last-minute win.

7. A velvet blue dream with a keyhole front and massive bow in the back, aka where the party is. (I had to.) 😉
8. A hand-beaded and hand-laced showstopper that an ethereal forest fairy would probably wear to prom, if they decided to. Which they totally could. Also, #talentedmom.

9. A red dress that goes beyond the fabric and represents a bond between mom and daughter, as well as a proud step towards recovery — you look FAB and we're cheering you on!

10. A hand-dyed watercolored wonder of the world that looks like it was MEANT to be twirled in all day and night — against a city backdrop, no less.

11. A gold and black stunner that you'd legit see on the rack of a department store — but nope, all made by hand! That, right there, is t-a-l-e-n-t.

12. A rainbow flurry of a prom dress that everyone would definitely, as OneRepublic would say, ~stop and stare~ at.
13. A princess-esque gown with a voluminous skirt that'll definitely be crowned ~Prom Queen~, hands down.

14. A red siren stunner anyone in their right mind would be 😍 about.

15. A strapless frock with a sweetheart bodice decorated with 👏reversible sequins👏 that a very talented mom made, because her darling must shine the brightest!

16. A gothic-inspired dress that always knew it was destined to stand out — whether on a runway, in a forest, or even at a Catholic school prom.

17. And on the other side of a spectrum, a dainty white lace number that surprised more than a few fellow classmates, and not just because of its intricate handiwork.

18. A pretty-in-pink number that'll make anyone's prom night feel like Cinderella's ball.

19. A stunning gown inspired by Katniss Everden's Girl on Fire ensemble. Someone call up District 12, because it's stolen our hearts!

20. An intricately patterned dress that only took a day to make! A day! Just one! What kind of wizardry is this???

21. A horse-approved white frock that was gussied up from an ordinary, cheap dress to a prom-ready number capable of dancing the night away!

22. A one-shoulder stunner only the most highly-esteemed goddesses wear — silver platform heels are not optional.

23. A ready-to-mingle magenta number made with lots of love and dedication — over 100 rhinestones, count 'em!!

24. And, to finish it all off, a darling silver lace gown I could see parading down a red carpet in the near future. Interested in making it in Hollywood, Abby?
