    Hello, 

     

    I am looking to customize my wedding dress. I just purchased this dress (Ella 5468)

     Wedding Dress Advice, be creative! :  wedding dress customize diy ella zipper creative advice help corset back open back straps 2430acab 4802 408b B574 D0d71776079a.Medium

    and I want to  make some alterations to the back of it to make it more unique, fun, and interesting. Things I am considering are to either have some sort of low or open back (maybe keyhole?), to remove the corset and put in a zipper, and to maybe add some sort of straps depending on the style of the back. Obviously I won't do all of these things, just giving you some thought starters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Reply with pictures if that helps too!

     

    Here are some ideas I'm considering:

    being creative... what about adding a splash of color ( I know some brides don't go for color, but if you do...)

    an outline of colored lace to match your BM dresses along the top of the bodice and around the back so that it would stick up from inside the dress?

    I love dress number three, especially the sheer top, that might be interesting / fun to add to your dress so... you could even match the beadwork/embroidery on the bottom of the dress. might make it more comfortable for dancing if it had a haulter or something? just thoughts, can't wait to see what you come up with!

    i love the dresses,

    have you thought about putting a sash in a different colour?

    its such a subtle change with such a big impact! can also tie in the colour theme of your wedding.
