Protecting Arms from Fabric

Ooo I'm following this because I also hate this!

Also following. This is an EXCELLENT question!

I think someone recommended deodorant and or no rub stuff that runners use but I may be wrong.

You could try Body Glide. I guess it depends on how much beading and how much chafing there is.

My seamstress will be removing the beading from the top of my dress right under my arms - gradually, so it looks intentional with the design.

I have beads on my wedding dress and my seamstress is removing the beads from under the arms.

I second body glide. I use that for my chub rub, and my bikini area after I shave in the summer and it works wonders!!!

It protects your skin from irritations.

Thank all of you! This dress looks absolutely amazing on my mom, plus it was a steal! I'd hate to see her let it slip by if the problem can be fixed!

A seamstress can add a layer of fabric so it doesn't rub or remove the beading under the arm. The dress I like has beading under my arms and I feel like I'd be super raw by the end of the night. Alternations for the win

I tried on a heavily beaded dress and the shop owner said the alterations lady places cheese cloth over the beading in the armpit area. That way you can see the beading, but you are protected by the cloth. I have no idea how it actually feels, I didn't end up getting the dress.

Bump

I posted a similar thread a while back (the lace on my dress chafes my underarms) and had suggestions to use body glide or liquid Band-Aids. Haven't had a chance to try yet.

I've also heard using baby power or cornstarch.
