Which Maggie gown do you have?


My gown has swarovski crystals on it, and those aren't too hard to find at beading stores (though they can get expensive)

My mom is going to try to make mine also....she had the idea of waiting until I do fittings and taking some of the beading off of the piece of the dress that gets cut off for the hem (since i'm a shorty) to use to scatter on the veil--just an idea!

Try the garment district. There's stores that only sell different types of beading. My mom and my grandma are making my veil as well and we got the illusion tulle in one store in the garment district and the lace in a store that only sold trimming. Good Luck!

If you have beading on the hem, it won't be cut off to shorten the dress.
The skirt will be separated from the bodice and then lifted to the proper length.
Your salon should have done a hollow to hem measurement so that the dress would be the proper length.
