Recently this Spring I altered Juliann Balister Mullis' bridal gown during her 50 # weight loss journey. She absolutely loved the dress after I made it fit properly. The first fitting was to make the bodice larger by adding fabric to the sides with sheer fabric and covering them with lace. Then I needed to adjust the bust, shoulders, sides. A couple of times I might add because she kept loosing weight. After all that I hemmed and bustled the dress. She looked wonderful in her dress and I'm so happy for her meeting her weight loss goal.

This first dress had a sheer tulle fabric from the bust line to the neckline, I filled it the area with lace applicaes to offer more cleavage coverage.
The second dress needed applicaes to the back, and all across the skirt after I did all the alterations.
Please share this post as this helps me find new customers needing my expertise. Thank you

Three more bridal gowns ready to wear Sept 28th and Oct 12th. I made pleated straps for the one on the right, took off straps for the one on the left front. I took in and let out sides, hemmed, bustled and added belts. I'm now working on making sleeves detachable for the gown on the left back rack. This fall has been a busy one!
