Modesty Alterations Sweetheart Neckline

Cara, on March 3, 2017 at 4:34 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

I've been lurking and found some older posts on here where brides posted pictures of alterations done to their sweetheart neckline to make it more modest. I am planning to do that with my dress and looking for some inspiration! My dress as is has way too much cleavage, so I plan to add a modesty panel of either lace that matches the dress (ordered from designer) or tulle. Has anyone done this? Do you have pictures?

    Are you having your dress hemmed? Maybe they can use the extra fabric from the bottom of the dress to make it more modest.

    @MFB my guess is that she loved everything else about the dress except the neckline.....

    When I was trying on dresses, my bridal consultant said many brides alter the neckline.

    @MFB I have a very large chest. Almost any dress I tried on needed neckline alterations. I loved my dress and the way it looked when they showed me how the sweetheart modified. The bridal consultant I had explained exactly how my alterations could be done. I'm planning on using extra lace that I ordered from the manufacturer to raise the neckline a bit. I was hoping to see some pictures from other brides that altered their necklines since I've been told it's a very common alteration.

    I'm a very busty woman and I talked to the person who will most likely do my alterations. I told her that I wanted to add some satin to my dress and she suggested doing a satin strip around the sweetheart neckline. I love the idea and it gives me extra coverage. I've been researching on pinterest and found some good ideas.
