About Girls Dress Restyling; Adding Length to Skirts

( This tips was found in another website, Elegant Tailoring does this work )

I like to look at the dress and determine the most suitable method of lengthening that will keep in character with the dress. Occasionally there is a dress with a wide white collar and adding lace on the bottom would be out of character. So I'll find a suitable scrap of white fabric and add about 5 or 6 inches to the hem. Then it looks as though it were purchased like that. I will also add a bit of trim such as braid or rickrack to the inevitable hem line from dropping the hem to cover up the evidence that I've lowered it (I may add more somewhere else on the dress to tie it together). It's unfortunate that method just won't work with my boys' pants!

I also found that ladies' petite sizes fit my daughter. That offers more selection in the search for modest clothing, since adult clothing styles can be found to be more traditional. On short skirts, I've occasionally found that if I order a size or two larger but in the slim, I get the length she needs. Now that she is old enough to sing with the family, it's fun to find sweaters and or skirts (sometimes making them) that match and dress alike when we sing.

Prom dress, Formal dress, Wedding dress or Bride-maid dress perfect ing

A good tailor can alter your dress to make it look as though it was made just for you, while leaving its appearance untouched.

This is the way our company Elegant Tailoring works.

We love to see how beautiful you look in your dress when the work is finished.

Keep in mind…

• Taking in a dress is easier and less expensive than letting it out.
• Thus, when you choose your dress, try to get one that is your exact size or little bigger. If you want to lose some weight before the event, buy the gown that fits today. This way, if you need to have it taken in, it will not be a problem. Make sure to call your tailor to find out how long it will take to make the alteration and come at proper time before the event.
• Dress letting out can only be done using the fabric that is available in the seam allowances. Hence, if you expect to let out a smaller size dress, note these seam allowances or show the dress to your tailor first.
• The difficulty and price of hemming your formal dress depends on its width, the number of layers it has, and on the kind of fabric it is made of.
• When a dress is taken in, it become shorter, so if you buy a bigger size, the dress should also be a little long.
• If you wear high heels, you might want to leave a little extra length on your dress for them.
• When you come for fitting, take your shoes and bra with you.

Dressmaking

If it is a problem to find the perfect dress for your special occasion, you can order it to be custom made.
