I love everything about my dress except for how puffy it is...
There are about 3 layers of crinoline attached to the skirt. I already went about $200 over my initial dress budget, so I'm trying to spend as little as possible on alterations. Fortunately, the only alterations it NEEDS are a hem and a bustle... so my question is, do I need to get the seamstress to cut out the crinoline for me, or could I just do it myself? Has anyone done this?
