I have been planning on wearing my moms wedding dress. It is very late 80s complete with puffy sleeves and excessive lace. I have always imagined just cutting the lace overlay off of the top and making it strapless, keeping the sweetheart neckline.
**The picture is just to give an idea what it looks like. It’s been photoshopped, mostly to remove the sleeves, because one option would be just altering the lace part. I just love the idea of the strapless dress so much, I want to try to make it work if I can.
The problem: the only support the bodice has is the lace top. Boning or some other support would need to be added to the Dress in addition to the other Alterations needed. Altering the dress to be strapless may be more challenging than I thought.
Has anyone had alterations similar to this done? How much did it cost? Before and after pictures are always helpful. Thank you for any help, suggestions, input!!
