Which types of fabrics.HOMECOMING DRESS?
Personally, I love fruitcake, but it's a TERRIBLE idea for a kids' party! No one will eat it! But, orange juice is a wonderful substitute for the liqueur, if you insist on making it.
fruit cake isnt as appetizing to kidstake the alcohol out and replace it with sparkling grape/cranberry juice last resort; make a cake or search recipes for cuppycakes !
The fruitcake my mom and subsequently I make called for strong cold coffee and rumMy mom put in rum for the whole amount as do ISo I don't see why coffee wouldn't workin place of the liquorYou know the alcohol in the rum disappears and just leaves the flavor so it's not going to hurt the kidsJust FYI.
Have you sewn before? what level of sewer to you consider yourself to be? A homecoming dress is not for a beginner to sewDo you know how to put in a zipper, set in a sleeve, put in facing and interfacing? First you will need a patternAnd there are a lot of patterns out there for evening dressesOnce you find a pattern it will tell you how much fabric you will needAnd measurements will be on the back for what size to cut outI would think peachskin would be a little thick to use for a long homecoming dressAny sheer fabric, like organza, or chiffon is very hard to work withAll the dressy fabric will be grouped together at the fabric storeThe pattern will list recommended fabric to use for the garmentAsk a sales person to help
