Wedding Dress to Cocktail Dress

Bryána, on June 2, 2023 at 1:22 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Hi Everyone!

I am thinking about turning my mom's 1989 wedding dress into a cocktail dress for either the bridal shower or rehearsal dinner. I just don't know how to go about it. I have contacted some alteration places but I am still lost. What are the some steps I should take to make this happen?

    I LOVE this idea!!! I had a wedding dress, custom made by a seamstress, and it was the best decision ever! It’s amazing what they can do! I would get photos of some cocktail dresses you like, or dresses that have certain aspects or details you like about it, to give your dressmaker an idea of things you like. Then, together, you can create something unique. If you are having trouble finding someone to make it, I would inquire with seamstresses who specialize in wedding dresses, and also ask for referrals on local Facebook wedding groups. I hope you keep us updated and share before and after photos of the dress!

    Hey Bryana. WW removed my first answer - I guess I'm not allowed to post my website (but spammers can clog our forum with weight crap) 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, I live in Florida.. my contact info is on my wedding website if you wanted to reach out.
