Research Lace Wedding Dresses styles over time. Ask for a photograph and detailed description before sealing the deal.
Closely inspect the dress for stains, rips and other signs of wear and tear. Older dresses are likely to have imperfections, and many of them are easily repaired. Look for signs of discoloration and yellowing that is harder to treat.
See beyond the frighteningly full skirt, Victorian lace sleeves and over-the-top embellishments. Wedding gowns of yesteryear tended to be more modest in their design. Long sleeves, big skirts and high necks are typical of older styles but shouldn't be deterrents. Envision the gown in a more understated and modernized form.
Begin the transformation. If you have alteration skills, perform the work yourself. If not, enlist the help of a professional seamstress. Decide what features should stay and what needs to be changed. Shortening or removing sleeves immediately updates the look and adding a V or scoop neck makes a dress more immodest and contemporary. Chop off a cumbersome train for a more informal look or make a formal full-length gown into a fun and flirty tea length style.
Consult a dry cleaner about the best treatment options for your vintage Lace Wedding Dresses. Then let air dry.
