Fixing Wedding Gown and Bridesmaid Dress Mishaps
January 17th, 2012
Aside from months of planning, for a wedding to go by smoothly you need to be prepared for all kinds of challenges, from mentally acknowledging that the flowers may be a slightly different shade than you were expecting to realizing that the weather may not cooperate fully contrary to predictions. As long as you have the right attitude, you won’t notice that the ice sculpture is melting faster than you can say I do. There are some mishaps, however, you can be ready for and wardrobe malfunctions are among them.From designer wedding dresses to vintage bridesmaid dresses, where there is fabric, threads and buttons, something is bound to happen, which is why most brides have an emergency kit with some white thread and needle just in case. However, a mishap can happen well before the ceremony. Many women are stressing about their nuptials and it can result in loss of weight. As much as any bride or bridesmaid would be happy about that, if the bridesmaid dress or the wedding gown has a form that needs to be filled, having not enough body to fill it with can be a problem. For a quick fix turn to padded pus up bra that will help you fill out the corset or opt for a wide ribbon in the wedding color tied at waist to gather the loose fabric, and you’ll be just fine.A lot of movement, from shaking hands and hugs at the receiving line to dancing the night away, can cause spaghetti straps or buttons to snap. It’s very likely to happen, so needles and threads are a must in bridal and bridesmaid purses. Just make sure you have the right shade of white for the wedding gown and plenty of tread in the beach bridesmaid dresses color so that the necessary repairs can be done quickly and hidden easily.All the dance floor action can result not only in a missed button, but also in a ripped hem. It only takes one wrong step by the bride or her dance partner and the seams are history. Don’t be tempted to take needle and thread to a hem mishap, as tat will take time and will likely result in visible repair, and instead reach for some double sided tape safely stored in pre cut strips in one of the bridesmaid purses. The tape will hold long enough for the reception to end, and will not cause any damage to the fabric so that a professional can fix the dress properly at a later time.Every bride spends hours of menu and cake choices, but come wedding day, hardly anybody remembers that raspberry filling or a red wine sauce, together with white dress, can mean disaster in the making. To make sure there is no tragedy, brush up on methods to remove stains from fabrics, so you know to pour boiling water on cherry stains or dab, not rub some sauce out, and even if a sleeve ends up brushing a plate, the disaster will be averted with knowledge and fast action.
