MemberI was wandering… What changes have any of you made to your dresses? Alterations? Dyes? Added? Subtracted? I do not have any pictures but I have changed my straps and added a different kind of lace to accent the origininal and to make it look more home made, romantic and victorian.
What have you done? Pictures?
MemberThere was a huge flower sash around the waist of my dress that I hated. I didn’t even try the sash on with the dress because it looked awful even on the model. Lol
MemberAny excuse to show off my dress! I had some bling removed and added a sash

MemberI’m adding a sash (which will lower the waistline), putting in waist stays, and maybe adding straps or a wrap, haven’t decided yet.
MemberI took off flowers on the back and front.
Added a $400 belt
Got a 2nd dress;)
MemberI altered the neckline slightly to make it more sweetheart, I removed the belt, and replaced the corset ribbon. The straps were already optional.
Member@HourThyme: Your dress is gorgeous! It reminds me of Vera Wang’s Gemma. What design(er) is that dress?
MemberI had a completely different skirt put on it. The designer was pretty awesome about making the change.
Member@MrsPhilly: Thank you! It’s Vera Wang’s Kathleen from the Spring 2013 collection. Very similar to Gemma but not as severe in the mermaid style and the flare starts a little higher than Gemma
MemberThis is the original
but im changing the front to look like this
and having the flower details taken off and having more beadwork done on the lacy bits so it is more like this 
I honestly cannot wait! My dressmaker is going to start it in a couple of weeks!!! So freiking excited!!!!!!!
MemberI removed the flowers/fabric from the bodice, so I went from this:
to this:
MemberNo changes yet, but I’m debating the train – cut it off or leave it.
