This wedding dress was perfect for restyling, it had a beautiful lace bodice which Caroline managed to find a suitable lace to compliment.
The bride wanted her shoulders and arms covered and by making a pattern to fit the original bodice she created a natural extension of lace flowing up to the shoulders and into the sleeves.
The lace that Caroline found to compliment the bodice had a stunning scalloped edge which was perfect for the front and back neckline.
The scalloped edge was then used for the bottom of the sleeves.
The lace top was attached to the original bodice and the center back was lined up with the top of the zip. This was finished off with loops and satin buttons to match the original dress.
The final fitting and the dress is finished.
At last the big day arrives!
The alteration cost around £650 and the
lace a further £100

If the dress is sitting properly then you shouldn't have to touch the dress again. Its much better to leave the seams alone because each time they are touched burses the fabric more.
