The wedding dress has become too small: 3 options for solving the problem

Choosing a wedding dress is a very important, responsible event that requires the bride to exert all her strength. What will it be like? Many girls think about this even before a young man proposes. Color, style, length, everything matters here. But now we have decided on the model. We chose exactly the only option from the catalog of the Rassvet wedding online store. We set a day and came for a fitting. And, oh, horror! The dress, so beautiful and elegant, emphasizing the slenderness of the model girl, looks completely different on you. It doesn’t fit well, it bulges in some places, it’s too tight in other places, and the length doesn’t match. So what's now? Choose something else?

Adjusting the dress to length

A wedding dress in the atelier at the Brilliance bridal salon is a product that resembles some kind of rarity, which the craftsmen handle carefully, eliminating flaws. One of the very common wishes of future brides is to adjust the length of the dress, which our craftsmen cope with flawlessly!

It is simply necessary to shorten a wedding dress if its length even slightly touches the floor - in such a dress the bride will be uncomfortable at the celebration, and there is a risk of both the bride and the groom stepping on the hem. If the movement is unsuccessful, the skirt may simply tear. Therefore, having purchased shoes for a celebration, immediately contact the studio. Your day should not be overshadowed even by small troubles.

How to hem correctly

It doesn't matter where to hem your wedding dress, it's more important that it's done correctly. We have already talked about the fact that you only need to try on wedding shoes. But what if the bride has prepared several options for shoes: for the ceremony - beautiful shoes with high thin heels, for a banquet and dancing - elegant ballet shoes with flat soles?

In this case, the main shoes will be the shoes in which the wedding will take place. It is under them that you need to hem the dress. This is done in such a way that the hem is 2-3 cm above the floor level. In this case, the toes of the shoes will not peek out from under the hem of the dress, and at the same time it will not interfere with movement. The length may be longer on the sides, and there may even be a long train at the back.

For the dance part of the event, when the bride changes into ballet shoes, you can either buy another, shorter model of the dress, or simply pin it with a pin or an exquisite brooch on one or both sides. By the way, you can do the same thing if the original dress was not very long. Then you don’t have to hem it at all, solving the problem with the help of decorative gathering, drapery or a full fluffy lower skirt.

But remember that in a long wedding dress you should never take steps back, and if it is elongated on the sides, then to the side too. Just forward, slightly lifting the edge of your skirt, towards your happiness, joy, good luck.

Fitting the bodice according to the figure

The bodice on a wedding dress is the main part - the image of the bride depends on it. An incorrectly selected style or a non-standard figure requires the intervention of masters, because the bride must be impeccable in everything.

A bodice that does not suit your figure is determined by the presence of extra folds under the bust or at the waist. Of course, using a corset greatly simplifies the process, because with the help of standard ties you can adjust your figure and “fix” the dress as needed. In the absence of a long veil, the characteristic lacing irregularities will be visible to others. Agree that this is not chic and far from brilliant.

In order not to worry about unevenness, flaws and other flaws in the “interaction” of the cut of the bodice and your own figure, you should contact the craftsmen. Sewing the corset of a wedding dress, increasing the volume of the cups, fitting it to the figure using additional undercuts - we can do it all!

How much does it cost to have a wedding dress hemmed at a tailor?

The final cost of the work depends entirely on the complexity of the work. Indeed, for some recuts (more than 2 sizes), it is necessary to move the neck line, armhole, and also greatly shorten the product. Also, the amount that will be indicated on the check is influenced by the fabric from which the outfit is made. If it is velvet, silk or chiffon, then the cost will be higher. In all other situations, the price of the service will be more than affordable.

So, employees will get the job done for only 490 rubles. If you want to know the exact cost, please contact the studio support service.

Fitting the veil

Whatever the veil is - long or short, made of tulle or silk - it often requires a standard adjustment. In order for the bride to be able to qualitatively complete her look, she must comply with the standard and approved lengths of this essential attribute.

The length of the veil is divided into 4 varieties:

• to the shoulders – the length of the product is 60 cm;
• to the elbow – length 80 cm;
• to the fingertips – 110 cm;
• special veil for weddings – at least 230 cm.

These are standard product lengths that are used for cutting. Brides are of different heights, so along with adjusting the wedding dress, adjusting the veil is also required, which girls simply do not do often. The correct length of the veil will make it not only sophisticated, but also comfortable, which is definitely required at a celebration.

Trying on a wedding dress

Do not hurry. The fact is that the manufacturer sews a dress for an average, in some way ideal figure, which, of course, your parameters do not completely correspond to. And the length is made with a margin, approximately 175-195 cm. This practice allows you to adjust the outfit to specific sizes already on the spot: sew in somewhere, unravel some seams. Even the straps and hangers are sewn in such a way that they can be easily shortened if necessary.

Of course, not every model can be adjusted to fit every figure. Therefore, listen carefully to the advice of the consulting manager in the salon. If it seems to you that the dress doesn’t fit well, but the seller assures you that it can be fixed, then it really is. But if the manager says that the situation cannot be changed and the dress is “not yours,” then you will have to resume your search and find another model.

That’s why fitting in a salon is so important; with us it’s completely free. Set aside at least half a day for this, preferably a whole day. The sales consultant will devote as much time to you as you need and will deal only with you, without being distracted by other buyers. Bring your wedding shoes. Some girls try on an outfit with everyday shoes, in the hope that later they will buy themselves a model that is similar in style, shape, and heel height in white or another desired color. Should not be doing that. It’s better to buy shoes first, and only then choose a dress.

Take your friend, mother, sister with you to the fitting. They will not only help you put on a voluminous outfit, but will also be able to objectively evaluate it from the outside.

Steaming

Wedding dresses in closets or clothing cases will certainly wrinkle and lose their presentable appearance. Before the celebration, there is a need to put the outfit in order, which often requires ironing. Using an iron is strictly prohibited! The process requires a steam generator, which not every home has.

The solution to the issue is simple - you need to contact the atelier at the Brilliance wedding salon. The skillful hands of the craftsmen will put the dress in order in a matter of minutes. All you have to do is shine and radiate happiness!

Recommendations for correct adjustment of dress length

“Measure twice and cut once” is a wise rule, time-tested by masters in various industries, and no one has canceled it. This also applies to a wedding dress, especially since a formal outfit in most cases consists of several layers of all kinds of luxurious fabrics.

Recommendations to help you correctly adjust the length of your wedding dress:

1. Wear the shoes you will wear on your wedding day. This is a prerequisite for the bottom of the wedding dress to look perfect.
2. Wear a petticoat with rings or rigid mesh before taking measurements if you plan to use it during the ceremony. The frame, which adds pomp to the bottom of the wedding dress, takes up a few centimeters from the length of the skirt.
3. Remember that the underskirt must be 1.5-2 cm shorter than the upper layers of material. In addition to certain rules, consider your own preferences regarding the length of the wedding dress. Some brides like the dress to fall heavily to the floor, others like it when the hem does not touch the floor surface, but is at a distance of 1-2 cm.

Additional decorations

Brides want to buy the dress of their dreams - with a huge amount of ruffles, beads, sequins and other details that fashion designers do not like to decorate wedding dresses with. In recent years, simplicity and an advantageous emphasis on the bride’s chiseled figure have been in fashion. But sometimes the presence of decorations and trim on a wedding dress is necessary to match the chosen style of the celebration.

Our stylists and designers who approach the matter with imagination will cope with this task, especially if there is a specific wedding theme and the bride’s outfit needs addition. The actions of the craftsmen are strictly negotiated with the customers. Determining additional finishing will allow you to see the finished look of the wedding dress already when you contact the atelier. The work itself will take several days.

The question involuntarily arises: how much does the work of craftsmen who use their tools so skillfully cost? The cost of the master’s work starts from 1000 rubles; further increases in price depend on the complexity and personal wishes of the bride. The average price of the entire order in our salon is determined within the range of 1500-2500 rubles.

Trust the work of Brilliance studio professionals! And your wedding will be filled with convenience, splendor and incredible happiness!

Shorten or hem a wedding dress in Moscow

A wedding is a wonderful holiday in the life of every person. But along with pleasant emotions, the bride has a whole series of worries. One of the most difficult tasks is choosing a wedding dress. You will need to decide on his style, choose a style that suits his height and figure.

At the same time, a situation often arises when the bride receives her festive outfit a few days before the celebration and it turns out to be excessively long. You can solve this problem by hemming your wedding dress. The masters of the Leda studio from Moscow will help you with this.

Experienced and highly qualified stylists will help you decide on the appropriate long dress for the bride. They will take into account not only aesthetics, but also convenience. The hem of the holiday item will not collect dust and dirt on the floor. In addition, the bride will not have a chance to accidentally trip and fall, tearing the fabric.

To determine the correct length, you will need:

• put on the shoes that you will wear to register your marriage;
• Mark the appropriate size of the outfit with a contrasting thread.

If you want to completely close the shoes, then the front hemline is made 2 centimeters shorter than the back. In this case, the back and sides of the skirt can reach the floor.
