Can chiffon be cut out of a dress?

Is this dress on amazon? If so I would not purchase it. I had to get three because two were damaged. (Zipper problems and holes in the tulle) the third I got was pretty but the fit is really weird. Without the chiffon it would probably not look right. There would be a larger gap than just a v look. If it’s not on amazon disregard.

View Quoted Comment It’s on Amazon, but that’s my budget. David’s, Vinted, Macy’s and JCPenney don’t have anything in my budget. My entire event has a budget of $2,000

A good seamstress should be able to cut that out for you.

A good seamstress likely will be able to

View Quoted Comment Okay good luck! I ordered From them two years ago so they may have improved 😄🤞

I would take it to a couple of seamstress and see what multiple says. You don’t want to destroy the dress.

Yeah I'm sure that piece holds the shape of the dress but a good seamstress can make somethimg work. I actually love the chiffon in the middle and it allows for the deep cut design.

View Quoted Comment You’re probably right, but honestly I want my cleavage showing haha

That section is more opaque on the model

A seamstress should be able to cut that out, but I would worry that the edges of the lace wouldn’t lay flat without being attached to something.

View Quoted Comment That’s true. I could probably use fashion tape

I think it might affect the structure of the dress if you cut it out - a seamstress can probably find a way around it but it may be prohibitively expensive. I’d say take it to a couple of different seamstresses and see what they say.

I looked up your dress and read the reviews and it looks like several people did cut that peice put and the dress looks great on them! It looks like something you could probably just do yourself without ruining anything.

View Quoted Comment Oh that’s awesome! Was it the one from Babyonline?

View Quoted Comment Yes! Read the first review picture (red). It looks beautiful!

Hey I saw this same dress on Youtube with a bad review, and dress haul. Apparently, it did not look like the photos. Be careful!

Hopefully you can see what I am talking about in these two photos, though they are far away.

It is actually very easy to remove mesh like this, it looks like tulle which won't fray.

I did my own and it was very easy. First get clear thread and sew a line of sticking following just outside where you want to cut, to hold all the layers together and maintain the structure once you cut. Once that is done, you can freely cut out the center following the lace. You can see on my dress I left a bit of the illusion, but cut out the majority. I'm all it took about an hour, but I had much more to see down before.

Hi Bri! Have you talked to your seamstress about this alteration?
