We maintain a hard and fast rule when it comes to looking exactly like every other person at a party: Just say no. And while, yes, a pricey and perfect vintage number does get the job done, sometimes the best way to ensure you’re the biggest stunner in the room is to take matters into your own hands. That’s why we turned to the Internet’s veritable DIY czarina, PS I Made This‘ Erica Domesek, who worked her magic on our already awesome In The Cut Dress to create this perfectly out there look for prom—or any other occasion. Then, because we can’t let things alone, we put her through a lightning round of  This or That.
