To transform this TK Maxx bargain dress into a unique, perfectly-fitted dream wedding dress.
Brief:
I remade the top to sit off-the-shoulder and added a net underskirt to give the skirt more volume. The chunky gold zip was replaced with buttons and loops and I made a sash which the bride requested was tied in a bow.

Amy wanted to shorten the hem to make it more practical for a beach wedding.
Brief:
I pinned the hem at the front to make it the perfect fit and we decided to remove a lot of the heavy train to make it more comfortable to walk.

Cherie found a dress she loved... from the front... but she hated the elasticated back.
Brief:
I removed the elasticated panel and replaced it with a structured, pleated back with side zip fastening. The original, plain straps were then replaced with a cross-over pleated design.

To rectify the wobbly zip which doesn't sit flat down the back.
Brief:
The original zip was too heavy for the delicate lace which was causing it to bend. I removed this zip and replaced it with a shorter, lighter zip in the lower part of the dress. I then added buttons and loops all the way down the opening to fasten the lace part at the top and cover the zip at the bottom.
Problem solved!
