Hey Gals!

Some of you were interested in this from a prior post:

I am using my mom's wedding gown; It was just cleaned and looks brand new!

Tomorrow I go to the dress maker to try it on, get it taken in and explain to her my alterations!

Let me know if anyone is interested in knowing how it looks or how this process goes!

It's not TOTALLY done yet...

It was kind of like a first fitting, to see how I like it and how it is going.
They are adding beading to the top and taking a little more material off the top so it is completely off the shoulder....
But i will post the first step here!

Then I am going to take it off in a few days (so no one sees) - and will re-re post when I have the final 'after' pic!

Thanks girls!

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

Sorry in advance, My mom did NOT take the best pictures!

So this is PHASE ONE of the alteration

The TOP part will be taken in a little more, so that it is completely off the shoulders as I wanted it and the edges will be trimmed with tiny pearls...
