You will need to order superstretch (spandex house.com is a good place to start)

Look for a dress pattern from a fabric store that will give you a good bodice shape. Most people will make two and sew them together inside out then turn right side and stitch ocer all the seams, sew in boning along the sides and back and there is your shell. Skirts are very tricky and unless you have a serger and are very good with sewing you may want to purchase the skirt seperately. a good skirt will run you about 200.00, but there may be someone on this board that can make one for less. If you want a dress other than white you will need to purchase your materials at the same time to be sure skirt and bodice material matches or dye them. This is a whole other process. email me if you need directions.

It will cost you anywhere between 200-500 for the materials to make a low glitz dress, depending on if you make your oown skirt and the cost of the fabrics if you choose overlayers and expensive laces to embellish your design.

Trims can be found at craft and fabric stores, just be careful not to add too much stuff. If you have any specific questions I will be glad to help you to make your own dress.
