Cassidy

Alterations / Bridal

While Cassidy cracked jokes, I pinned up her wedding dress in two sessions. In dress alterations, to ensure lace hems are the perfect length, we do them in two steps. At the first fitting, we pin the lining layers and the bustle. Between fittings we remove the scallop edge along the front (or in this case create one) and at the second fitting we pin the lace back on so the scallop just grazes the floor. It doesn’t need to make sense, just trust our magic.


Alteration Details

Took sides in and extended boning in bodice; added bra cups; hemmed inner lining around, second lining across front, created and moved bottom lace scallop edging up along front; 3 point French bustle lining, 7 point over bustle lace layer
