I received my pictures of my custom gown design today and it’s lovely, but the sheath base dress is more sheer than I was expecting. I love how it looks with an overskirt, but I’m afraid the base dress will be too sheer. It slipped my mind to ask the vendor to do a chantilly lace inner layer during the design process and they won’t do it now.
My options now are:
1. Buy chantilly lace and have a local tailor add the layer on the inside. The gown has 3 layers of tulle so the chantilly lace pattern won’t be too obvious, but it’ll make the gown less sheer. It’s going to cost $50 for the lace from Amazon and $100-$150 for a tailor to fix it. Issue here is I don’t have a lot of time to find nice lace patterns and such and wait for shipping. And there’s risk that the dress will get messed during the alternation.
2. Just go with what here and hopefully nude undergarments will do. I’m doing an elopement without any guests, so the sheerness may not come through in photos and videos anyway. They did put ample lace appliqué throughout. However, since no guests will be present, I’ll likely be sharing photos more broadly.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
