  • How to fix a bodice that stands out, gap in the bust of a bridal gown
    Sometimes the bodice of a gown fits in the back, but not the front. You don't want to just do a standard take-up and cause some "squish" in the back. This video covers the way to adjust the fit in the side seam.

    This was wonderful, I used this to fix my daughter’s dance dress. She’s 12 & wears a 32 DD in the chest-but is TINY everywhere else. Her off the shoulder dress had the exact gaping you showed us.I thought darts but because it has boning -everywhere I thought about putting in a dark looked “off”. This made more sense and didn’t effect the boning. Thank you so much !! I’m just a mom and sewing is NOT one of my skills but your video was so straightforward that even I could duplicate it. That speaks volumes

    I'm curious if you can do a tutorial pertaining to plus size bridal dresses and figuring out the proper fit for more curvier girls who might have a large chest or common problem areas when altering for larger bodies. I can't seem to find blogs or any info online that pertains to this. I was recently commissioned to do a plussize wedding dress from a close friend.

    • @BridalSewing
      @BridalSewing  6 лет назад +3

      Alex Yarally this vid is def helpful for a plus size fitting. This is very common for plus size girls. The most prominent rule of thumb for fitting plus size is that it usually takes more fittings, because as the dress is fitted, the body mass/shape begins to shift due to the new pressures. So, just be patient with yourself and notify the bride that fitting the body of the gown may often take as many as 4 fittings.

    I have a dress like this that I will alter. The cups are big and pointy compare to the breast size. So the dress sticks out a lot at the front. So far I only pinned the front cups and also had to pin the sides as it was slightly to big around as well.

    what if the back really dips down and after taking up, the side seams at the top dont match, and to blend you cant lower the front side seam....what I did was to add a piece to raise the back to meet the front side seam..quite the job with lace and beads...

      Yes, sometimes you have to do that. & sometimes you have to take it up more in the front than the back.

    Hi,
    Question, what if the dress had that stiff upper edge running underneath the arms? That’s where my bride “wings “ out. I have already taken up the appliqué at the hem so she can wear her sneakers now the bust looks horrible. Should I angle the bone as well?

    • @BridalSewing
      @BridalSewing  6 лет назад +1

      Eliana Argiro i often have to shorten and tip forward the angle of the boning. The stiff bodice edge under the arms is usually just from layers of fabric. You may still just need to dart the bust. I still have to do that quite often. This type of side seam adjustment is not a fix-all, but rather, just one more thing to have in your arsenal. I need to do a bust dart vid! But, it is not very complicated.

  • @olgahenderson

    Most gowns have the lining top stitched at the bust. When you take in the bust, do you go back and top stitch the lining? If so, do you have a easy trick for that?
