Second-hand Dress...

Hello, knotties!
I found a beautiful lace dres in a thrift shop for under $100 so I snagged it. It's too small right now (but I still have over a year til our wedding). I got it because it's exactly the lace pattern I was envisioning. It looks like it just needs to be cleaned and altered. I'm thinking that if it's too small to alter to my size, maybe I can have a dressmaker do something drastic to it and still make it work- like possibly adding a whole new boddice piece.
Has anyone here done anything similar with their dress? I'm really not into spending hundreds of dollars on a dress but want to know if its possible to go this route.
Any feedback is appreciated! Smile

Re: Second-hand Dress...

  • This is something only a seamstress with the dress in her hands can answer because a lot depends on the seams, the lace and the overall structure of the dress.  I would take it to one or two seamstresses near you and get some opinions on what can be done with it.

  • If you are indeed looking for someone else who has done this... you might try posting on the Attire and Accessories board. Either way you are going to have to go see a seamstress. Good luck!
