Re: I didnt think to ask this at my fitting??
i ordered a lace dress and they told me that they pin the scalloped edge to the end of the dress so they can alter the length and add the edge back on. or they alter it from another hem, like at the waist, etc. dont worry i am so sure they know what they are doing!

I just tried to look at a picture of your dress but your albums are all gone!!!! Did the FILs cause me to miss something????
What I was looking for was whether or not your dress had some kind of seam towards the middle of the dress or if it was all one piece of lace. I might be remembering your dress wrong... but was there a sash around your waist? Is their a seam under that?? They would take it up from there instead of the bottom....

I asked the woman the same thing. They take it from another seam in the dress.

I am not sure how your dress is constructed, but the hem of my dress is scalloped as well, and my alterationist is taking it up at the waist, rather than the hem, to shorten it

I think the women for my dress said they cut the lace off, hem it, and put the lace back on.
