Fashion Show & Contest

Toby Haberman And Winning Contestants

Haberman Fabrics' annual Prom Dress Fashion Show and Contest was held Tuesday evening, June 7, 2005, as a benefit for Mothers Against Drunk Driving. This colorful contest also lent support to the creative ambitions of talented young women from throughout the region. Contestants came from all over southeast Michigan 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. Just under $500 was raised for M.A.D.D. through $5.00 audience admission donations.

The girls were judged in two categories: Dresses Sewn by Professional Seamstresses and Dresses Sewn by Non-Professionals. Many contestants made their own beautiful dresses. Winners, selected by audience balloting, received exciting prize packages, totaling $2500.00 in value. Prizes included gift certificates and merchandise from Haberman Fabrics and many fine Royal Oak shops, restaurants, salons and theaters. The Grand Prize in the Non-Professionally Sewn category included a Janome sewing machine given by Universal Sewing Center, located in Haberman Fabrics. We hope you find opportunities to visit these generous businesses. Please see the complete list below.
