Are you able to maybe alter it and put a satin on the inside as a liner, so the rubbing won't irritate your skin?
I'm sorry that I am of no help, but that was something that turned me off on some dresses. The beading was under the arms or rubbing me somewhere and I couldn't put up with that irritation.
The only thing that I can think of is that tap that they use when you have a losse and low shirt on to tape it to your skin and not show your boobs. Or maybe using a soft fabric on the inside of the dress.
What about some type of anti-chafe potion like bodyglide? What about putting some type of athletic tape on the part that rubs, where you cannot see it?
@vfoster03: I thought about that, but making the beaded part solid made me a little sad (instead of keeping it sheer).
@prncssDva: That is the tape we have, and may be what we end up doing if we can't come up with anything else! I also eliminated quite a few dresses because of how they rubbed right underneath my arms. I will put up with it on this one because it isn't terrible, I'm just all about the comfort and want it to be as comfy as possible!

oops... double post.
@Kingcake: I have never heard of bodyglide. I'll have to check it out! Have you used it before?
I like the idea of an anti-chafing product. You could also try moleskin, like what people put into shoes to keep them from rubbing and causing blisters.
what about using some of that anti-blister silicone. They sell it at the drugstore with the foot products. It is like a mini-deoderant stick, but with silicone, not deoderant. YOu use it to prevent blisters from forming. It works really well, and I bet it would work on your back. And it is clear and leaves no marks so you don't need to worry about staining your dress.
@alioo01: Yeah... tryign to avoid that... but I'll do it if I have to!
@Miss Sweet: That is a good idea... I'm going to have to check that out and test it. Thanks for the suggestion!
What about not using double sided tape, just regular tape. You don't really need the dress to be stuck to your body, right? You can just put the sticky side of clear tape on the inside of the straps that are rubbing on your skin to create a clear smooth lining.
I don't know if this would work on your dress but, one trick I've had costumers use back in the day was dental wax, it's somewhat clear (kind of opaque-ish but colorless). You take a little ball of it and basically form it around the irritating parts it pretty much lasts all day. Dental wax is the same thing kids use to put on their braces (I never had them but that's what I was told). I hope that makes sense.
@Jacqi: Very good point! I didn't even think about that... It is definitely worth a try! It seems like that should've been an obvious option, but I didn't even consider that! Haha...
@Cricket1524: Haha... I used that when I had braces! Oh the memories... That is worth trying also... I wonder if it would come off at the end of the day?
Another thought we had was to put some glue (like hot glue or something) on the scratchy parts. It probably wouldn't come off at the end of the day, but at least the dress itself wouldnt be sticking to me.
there's some sort of fashion tape that's suppose to be very comfy. that i cant recall the name of..."sure sctigergirl81...that's REAL helpful"
how bout band-aids! works when i'm getting blisters from shoes! totally kidding ;)
material and sew on the inside or fine those rubber rims that they line straples bras with and line the inside with that... other than that I'm out of ideas but I do hope you find one being its a very pretty dress and you should be comfortable that day :) good luck
Ask the alterations people, i think there is like a clear mesh that they can sew over beads.
@sctigergirl81: Haha thanks. We actually bought some fashion tape that wasn't too bad, but the dress just kind of stuck to me weirdly. I will probably end up using that though anyways.
@jjwedding: Rubber rims is a really good idea. I'm going to look into that! It should be able to be kept hidden well also. Thanks!
@cincity75: I asked them, but they suggested the tape. Oh well!
My dress was rubbing under my arms, so I had the outermost layer of beads removed. I don't know if that's an option for your dress, but it really helped.
@Chillmer: Yeah, that could be an option, since no one will probably even see any beading there, since my arms will be covering it. Thanks!

Hello all! I was hoping that someone might have a good suggestion as to what I could do about my dress. I have pretty sensitive skin that gets easily irritated and turns red. The back of my dress is this sheer material that is beaded and it is rubbing and turning part of my back red. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to prevent this?? So far, we have come up with double sided tape, but it's a little uncomfortable to have that stuck to me all day. I'll do it if I have to, but does anyone have a better idea??
