Thank you so much for all the detail you put into this video. I'm having my lace wedding dress altered and I've been super nervous about how it will be handled. This video put my mind at ease quite a bit.

[@thetailorette]

So glad you enjoyed this video! It’s definitely not a job that can’t be done 🙂

[@Guadyco]

Same here!

@Richard Achilles Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@deandrehugo1103]

@Richard Achilles it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !

Soo nice. Great work.

A Lewis thank you!

[@danidanidaniela5656]

You are so talented ❤

[@marnih]

Great information! I would love more information about sewing everything down and keeping it looking nice through that process. I pinned like crazy (good to see you doing that), but I still feel like it's bunching.

[@thetailorette]

Good thought! I’ll have to do a video on that soon 🙂

[@carolynwilkins3980]

This is a great video. You're very clear in your explanation. What's the average cost for an alteration like that?

[@vilwarin5635]

What if the bride is wearing a petticoat under the dress? Do you take into account that?

[@thetailorette]

Nesseire good question! Yes, I would hem the dress with whatever you plan on having underneath the skirt. Especially if it’s giving the gown some volume.

[@hopecorrigan3349]

Very helpful.

Will this work for lace bottom leggings (fancy legging material pants that have a belled lace bottom to the legs). I need to desperately shorten them (I'm 5'3" and it drags on the ground even in wedges)

[@thetailorette]

Yes this would definitely apply to that if the lace is sewn on the bottom like this one.

[@conniemoody5063]

I love the way you hang for the alteration of hems. Can you give details?

[@aliciaabigail385]

Great video!
What is the average cost for this?? I am trying to get my wedding dress hemed

[@madles47]

I was wondering the same thing🤔

[@courtneyreeves7605]

I know this video was posted a long time ago so I don't know if you'll remember, but do you know what material the pinkish-tan lining layer was made of? To me it seems to have some qualities of a chiffon but more opaque than that. But it also looks pretty lightweight. I'm making my own wedding dress and I'm trying to find a good soft skirt lining material that isn't too heavy but also isn't see through

[@thetailorette]

Good question! From what I remember it is actually made of a a stretch knit material to make the dress more form fitting.

[@taylorcrane9865]

When you trim up the lace that was underneath after you moved up the section of lace you moved, how do you keep that from fraying?

[@thetailorette]

This lace naturally doesn’t fray. Most modern bridal laces I’ve worked with don’t 🙂
