How to Put My Wedding Dress On

You can't step into it?

View Quoted Comment No I have a petticoat that needs to go on first so it makes it too big for me to step into

View Quoted Comment Hmm, you'll probably just have to have your bridesmaids or family help you and just do it slowly and carefully.

Are you able to put the dress on by stepping into it, and then lifting it up to slide the petticoat under it?

Practice putting it on without makeup and just see what you can do

View Quoted Comment I'll have to try. I have a corset bra that goes into of the petticoat too. Think I will be having to practice.

View Quoted Comment Is the corset bra attached to the petticoat or does it slide into it? If it slides into/under it... you might be able to still slide the petticoat on after the dress.. depends on your dress. It’s hard to give advice without seeing it, but I would try it. Worst case it doesn’t work and you’re back to square one.

You will just need your BM’s to help you.

Hands straight above head, protecting your head. If possible, someone on each side. Pull you hands down as the dress passes. You could also try a piece of cloth like silk (pillow case) over your head.

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

I had this same issue. Couldn't step into my dress bc of my petticoat. She ended up sewing it right into my dress.

Buy a shower cap and put that on over your face to protect the dress.

Agree with Samantha, shower cap for hair and face! I also like the silk pillowcase idea - would be funny for pictures haha

View Quoted Comment It really would be funny pictures! Lol

Can you put the dress on by stepping into it then adding the under neath and have someone help ? I was told the same thing but I’m doing as I said and it worked

View Quoted Comment I was thinking of trying that! I'm thinking I need to practice before the big day.
