I just bought my wedding dress (a few sizes smaller than the sample dress in store), and it is too short. It comes about 2 inches off the ground (with no shoes) and I would like it to touch the ground (as pictured in the model photo below).
I quickly considered buying the dress several sizes up and taking it in, but that would be too expensive. I've decided to keep the dress, but figure out how to add a little bit of length.
Two things that came to mind were stretching the lace, and adding a bit of lace to the bottom of the dress. Any other suggestions?
