PROM DRESS
Fashion Show & Contest
Toby Haberman And Winning Contestants
Haberman Fabrics staged a colorful Prom Dress Fashion Show and Contest, Tuesday evening, June 8, 2004, as a benefit for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and to support the creative ambitions of talented young women from throughout the region. Contestants came from far and wide to Haberman Fabrics, purchasing their fabric from the region's epicenter for fine fashion and decorating fabrics offered with knowledgeable assistance for novice and experienced patrons.
JoAnn Lucas, President of Oakland County MADD greeted the audience of 150 enthusiastic contestants' friends and family members and expressed appreciation for their support of the very important work done by her organization on behalf of all our children. Over $800 was raised for MADD through $5.00 audience admission donations.
Winners, selected by audience balloting, received generous prize packages of gift certificates and merchandise from Haberman Fabrics, Universal Sewing Centers (located in Haberman Fabrics), and a myriad of Royal Oak shops, restaurants and theaters. We hope you find opportunities to visit them. Please see the complete list below. The girls designed their own dresses and were judged in two categories: Dresses sewn by Professional Seamstresses and Dresses Sewn by Non-Professionals. Many contestants made their own beautiful dresses.
DRESSES SEWN BY NON-PROFESSIONALS
 GRAND PRIZE WINNER Katherine Walquist Chesterfield Anchor Bay High School The superior fit and incredible style of Katherine's pink corset top and beaded/embroidered organza overlay skirt made her the cream of the crop! The dress was sewn by Katherine's mom. |
 RUNNER-UP Pam Soulliere Clinton Township Chippewa Valley High School The audience loved Pam's self-sewn, vintage Vogue pattern dress; shimmering green polyester satin with organza overlay, accented with a hand beaded pink sash. |
DRESSES SEWN BY PROFESSIONAL SEAMSTRESSES
 GRAND PRIZE WINNER Unique Hill Detroit Dondero High School True to her name, Unique designed this one-of-a-kind dress made by her grandmother, Linda Hill. The audience was in awe of the bouffant skirt with appliqued organza, and shirred bodice with removable fitted corset. Originality, excellent construction and gorgeous design gave Unique the winning edge. |
 RUNNER-UP Kristin Gerhart Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School Kristin's mom, Karen Gerhart, made this ultra feminine, flowing dress from painted, beaded silk chiffon. The bias cut dress, with strapless, shirred bodice and an attached scarf, was an audience favorite. |
