STYLE

Calling all future fashion designers and aspiring stylists...

Do you want to be a star in the fashion industry? Are you obsessed with scrolling through the #OOTD hashtag on Insta? Would you rather be styling your next look right now?

If you answered yes to any (or all) of the above questions, we have the *perfect* opp for you—the Project Prom: Design Your Dream Dress contest from Simplicity.

Show off your sewing (and styling) skills for the chance to win an *amazing* prize pack: One winner will appear in an upcoming issue of Girls' Life magazine, have her designs featured in a fashion show, score a digital mentoring session with a GL fashion editor and much more.  

How to enter:

1. Pick your pattern from Simplicity (like this sleek sheath or haute halter, for example).  You can shop online or find Simplicity at any Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics or Walmart location.

2. Design and create your dress. Sew, girl, sew!

3. Email a photo of the final look to projectprom@girlslife.com. You can photograph the garment by itself (hanging against a wall works well!), have it modeled by yourself or a friend—whatever you want. Your goal is just to capture the dress in the best way possible so the judges can see all your hard work. Multiple photos are welcome!

4. Submit your dreamy dress by February 16, 2018. 

5. On March 1, we'll announce the top 5 contenders in a voting hub. Vote for your favorite dress in a poll on Instagram and encourage your family and friends to support their fave style, too! One dress designer will win that *ultimate* grand prize, which we'll announce on March 16.

Ready, set...sew! Be sure to submit by February 16, 2018. Good luck! Voting for the contest starts on March 1 on our Instagram, @girlslifemag. Go follow to stay updated!
