    Thank you for showing us how to do this! I have a few dresses that I've only worn once or twice because my waist measurement changes a lot. I always wanted to try converting some of them to a lace up back. I will definitely try this once I'll get a sewing machine. Also that dress was absolutely beautiful and I loved the pastel blue and pink combo ❤

    Using the zipper placket as an anchoring point is incredibly intelligent and the dress is so perfect and versitile

    I recently had a dress altered to a corset back but they only did a 2 inch panel which still made the dress unusable as it didn't cover my back fully. Thank you so much for this simple tutorial using a rectangle of fabric and only sewing the top edge of one seam. Definitely giving this a try.

    Firstly, the dress you made is stunning! Thank you for so so many tips and the lesson. I don’t know if I have the skill to pull it off, but I might just try it. I’ll watch it step by step as I go. The way you edit your videos is also excellent, so good job on that. I’d really like to improve my sewing skills and I know watching your videos will really help. I will say that at times the music is so loud that I can’t hear what your saying, so please turn that down just a little. But I’m really so impressed with your great sewing skills. Thanks so very much!

    Would this be a good solution for a wedding dress that just can't quite get zipped up all the way?
    Because of covid, my area is in a stay at home order till the end of May and I can't get an alterations appointment until mid June and my wedding is mid July lol so its really cutting things close. My dress has a ton of bead work that will have to be taken out and re beaded if its taken out at the sides. My dress is only slightly too small so it needs to come out by about an inch. The only person doing alterations is charging an arm and a leg for the work which I understand because its labour intensive. But I'd love to find a solution that would cut the part out of having to unbead everything.
