So I messed up with the after picture. I took the one being posted and then forgot to get one while this bride was in it ๐คฆโโ๏ธ Moving on. This bride came to me with a dress that had been her grandmotherโs. She wanted to wear it in her wedding, but it was just a little too small in the bust area. We tossed around quite a few ideas. But in the end, we decided to go with the simpler, safer option. Which was to put in a lace up back. I was able to move the zipper from the original back down to the waist and still use it. I kept the full length just in case she ever wanted to put it back to its original style. With the lace up back, I put a panel under in order to make it more modest. This dress suited her perfectly! I love, love, love getting to do projects like this. Where a someone brings me a dress or an article of clothing and wants to make a little change and it turns into something completely different looking. Thank you for letting me help with your special day!
