Altering the him of my lace wedding dress

A good seamstress should be able to HEM any style of dress without any issues

And since your dress doesn't have a very distinct design right around the edge, it should be relatively easy for them to hem your dress

Like Brooke said, a good seamstress can perform pretty much any alteration. They hem probably 99% of every dress that walks through their doors. Do you know how many lace dresses they have their hands on? I'm sure it's a lot. Just do your homework before hand. You'll be fine.

Also, it's normal to have doubts. I did and I took my dress to a woman I had no doubt had the ability. It still made me nervous to visualize someone deconstructing my dress. It will be fine.

Take it to a good seamstress, and its HEM not him : )

I had a chantilly lace gown and had to hem the bottom. If you have a scalloped hem, the seamstress will remove it, as well as excess fabric and reattach. Nothing to stress about.

My French lace dress was very long, too. My seamstress had no trouble with alterations.

Fugettabout it You'll be just fine. Take it to an experienced (in wedding gowns!) seamstress and ask her to explain how she will hem the dress. Truly professional alterationists have methods of working around the issues so that your dress doesn't look altered, but it does feel altered. It would be a big mistake to leave your gown long and trip over it the entire time. Do pick your shoes before you take it to get fitted and decide whether or not you'll wear a slip. Also, I recommend a pretty french bustle for this style of gown

Take it to an experienced seamstress...also, hem*, too*, gotten*
