Today I'm doing some major alterations to a wedding dress. It's quite a challenge to find a way inside and then to orientate yourself to what piece is what when its inside out. Acurate measuring is the only way with such a volume of fabric.
Theres an over skirt in organza, the actual dress fabric of satin, a petticoat layer of ruffled tulle (to make the dress stick out) and then the lining. 4 layers in total to shorten.
The shoulders also need shortening and as this is a beaded bodice, all the beads will need to be secured before I cut to shorten the straps.
Then there's the bridesmaid dresses. They are much simpler to alter and only consist of top fabric and lining.
