Another wedding dress delivered to a Happy bride! This one needed to be taken in at the side seams where the sheer lace meets the beaded bodice to eliminate underarm gap and achieve better fit in the bustline. Beaded straps needed to be taken up to stop them from slipping off her shoulder. Also had to add more lace to the center back and remove and re-attach buttons and loops for buttons to close properly(see before photo). Lastly created a bustle to allow the beautiful lace to be shown off when hooked up.

Sequins, pearls and beads, Oh My!
This lovely beaded dress went through extensive alterations. All 5 layers needed to be shortened and the train removed. Every line of beads needed to be secured at the bottom edge, so they wouldn't unravel. The.beaded straps needed to be adjusted and re- beaded, and the side seams and bodice needed to be taken in and re-beaded. The bridal buttons all needed to be re-secured, and a couple of the button loops replaced. When finished, it was a perfect fit!

This beautiful wedding dress needed to be adjusted in the bodice, the side seams and through the hips. All layers were hemmed and blended into the train. The bustle followed the lines in the rouching of the dress.

This alteration was down to the wire! I had to add gussets to each side and let out the waist on this wedding dress. I was waiting on the Rhinestones which were shipped from overseas, and the re-beading was completed 5 days before the wedding. All the pearls and Rhinestones had to be hand sewn to the dress. WHEW!!!

It's been a very busy summer  in my studio.  Here are several photos of alterations completed.
