Beading Satin
How do I hem a wedding dress with no waist seam and detail on the bottom?
I have a gorgeous wedding dress in need of a few inches being taken off the bottom. The problem is the bridal store did not tell me how difficult it was going to be to hem & did not offer for me to order the dress to length. I now have a dress with gorgeous lace and beading on the bottom (with each little bead individually sewn on) and no waist seam. The first seamstress wanted to make a waist seam where there wasn't one, which is not what I want to do considering I bought the dress because I thought it was gorgeous as one continous piece. Please help!! It's a satin gown with the sheer overlay that has all the detail work on it. Thank you!!
i had this same problem, and there really aren't too many alternatives. My tailor took the dress as short as it would go without distrubing the design. i got the highest heels I could find AND put TWO crinoline slips underneath it. it was tooo puffy for my taste, I could barely walk in the heels. The only alternative is to creat a stitching where there isn't one. She said it could be done, but she wouldn't reccommend it because it would completely change the look of the dress. And thinking about it, she is right. She said she could cut the detailing off the bottom and then move it up, but that would create a "seam", take more time, and cost more. And after she explained it, it made sense.
When you are short, like me, you have to also pick your choice of dress based on what would be needed to alter it and/or if it could be ordered in your size.
So after $250 of alterations on a $200 dress, I have to scrap it and get something that will work with my height. Which is what I should have done in the first place.
Even the most talented tailor is not a magician!
