Can you add lace on a train?

Leah, on December 20, 2017 at 9:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
I need help! I have a mermaid dress, and I really love the top of my dress. But I wanted to add lace onto the bottom of it. Does anyone know if this can be done or if it even will look right? I know I can’t return it, so I’m hoping it is possible to do!

    I'd probably ask a seamstress as this will be who adds it. Most stores won't alter their original design after it's been purchased, but maybe a local seamstress would be able to tell you the answer.

    Ask a couple seamstresses their opinions to see if it is possible, and will look good.

    It should for sure be do-able but you will likely need to find a seamstress who does not work at a bridal shop. They usually have limitations on the things they can alter. If you find the right seamstress they can usually make anything look good and will help guide you in the decision-making process of the changes.

    You can have it done, the only issue you may run into is finding a matching lace.

    You'd have to ask a seamstress. They'd be able to evaluate whether or not this could be done

    I think it can be done but matching lace could be difficult

    It really depends on the dress itself. I imagine it depends on the seams and how it is structured.

    Do you have a picture of the dress? Only a seamstress can tell you if it can be done or not.
