Almost a Total RemakeShortening a Full-length Dress...she looks fantastic!My dressThis is my mom. Her dress was almost a total remake due to her losing weight. I hemmed the dress, yet I really had to take in the sides of the dress a good amount. That involved removing the sleeves, as well as a good amount of the beading. Then, I needed to re-bead the dress when I was finished. She looks terrific (and so does my dad!).

MOG (Cindy) on the left and MOB (Pam) on the right were so much fun to work with. They are stunning in their dresses after I did many alterations on both dresses. They ranged from hemming, to taking in the sides, to adding boning, and adjusting sleeves.

Lexi's prom dress (left) features a sheer midriff with a mermaid bottom. This dress was designed collaboratively with Lexi; she knew exactly what she wanted. When it was time to choose the fabric, she saw a clipping of Pam's dress in my stash and immediately fell in love with it. She looks adorable! (Will, her date, was quite dashing, too, I might add!)
After the prom, Lexi wanted to be able to wear her dress again. So, we hemmed it to above her knee. Isn't it cute? |
