Silicone for wedding dress

Alyssa, on September 9, 2019 at 9:28 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
Has anyone ever used a liquid silicone or anything else for the tops of their dress so that it doesn’t rub into your skin at the shoulders? My dress has a very rough lining and it’s making my shoulders brush burned even after having it on for alterations! Help!

    Can it be lined with something else?

    The jeweled straps of daughter's dress were leaving her shoulders flaming bright red within minutes. During alterations, they lined the straps with a soft, thin fabric. You couldn't see it on the outside of her dress, but the dress never irritated her after that. (I've also read that sometimes in alterations they rub beeswax on the inside of parts of the dress that are causing irritation -- but we didn't try it.)

    Quick and cheap fix that won't ruin the dress is to use a hot glue gun.

    Bring Vaseline (or similar) to carry with you on the day! I didn’t expect my dress to rub, but it did. I used a pawpaw cream, which is similar in texture to Vaseline and that provided a lot of relief!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Alyssa Smiley smile

    Did you speak to your seamstress to see if there is anything he/she can do to help with the issue? As the PPs mentioned it could possibly be lined with something. Do you have another fitting appointment before collection?
