How to Reuse a Bridesmaid Dress

posted by: julie category: Guides No Comments

Bridesmaid dresses can be beautiful, elegant and unique. To others, bridesmaid dresses are ugly and uncomfortable. Either way, it is best to take that piece of fabric and to re-create it into something that is usable in the future. After spending a good deal of money on the dress, creatively reuse that bridesmaid dress with these steps.

Instructions

1.Reuse the bridesmaid dress by altering it. Bring the dress to a seamstress and explain the details of what you would like your new dress to look like. Either by taking off material or adding more, you can design a dress to fit your specific style.

2.Cut the material of the bridesmaid dress and make a shadow box to remember the day. By cutting some of the material of the dress and placing it as the background of the shadow box, you can create a visually appealing masterpiece. Put pictures of you and the bride in the new frame.
3.Design a child’s dress using the bridesmaid dress material. If you have a small child in the family, you can easily transform the dress into a new holiday dress.

4.Create a lampshade with the material. Bridesmaid dresses are usually made out of stunning materials that make for a lovely lampshade to match your home furnishings.

5.Make a pillow out of the bridesmaid dress material to match your new lampshade. This is an elegant way to coordinate your living room and reuse your bridesmaid dress.

How to Alter a Bridesmaid Dress

posted by: alice category: Guides No Comments

There are several reasons why you may need to alter a bridesmaid dress. Perhaps the dress is too long or too short. Often, bridesmaid dresses are purchased well before the date of the wedding. During the time between the purchase and the wedding, the bridesmaid could have either gained or lost weight, meaning that her dress will no longer fit her. Instead of purchasing a new dress, you can simply alter the one you already have.

 

  1. Have the bridesmaid model her dress for you. Use the tape measure to measure how much fabric should be altered, and mark the dress according to the measurements using a fabric marker. Pin up any pieces of fabric to mark alterations as well.
  2. Help your bridesmaid to carefully remove her dress so that she is not poked with any pins you used to mark alterations. Lay the dress out on an even surface and use the seam ripper to remove the seams where the alterations are to be made. Seam rippers will allow you to cut the thread of the seams without damaging the fabric of the dress.
  3. Use your markings to determine where to re-sew the seam. Begin by ironing the crease of the seam flat.
  4. Alter the length of fabric needed for the new seam according to your measurements by pinning the dress where the new seam will be. Use the tape measure to perform any appropriate measurements and to ensure that the pinned seam is straight and even.
  5. Sew the new seam using a needle and thread or a sewing machine. Remove the pins and iron the seam when you are finished. Finish the seam by stitching along the length of the seam on the inside of the dress. Trim the edges with pinking sheers, which create a zigzag pattern that reduces fraying and prevents raveling. You may use a serger machine to add a professional finish if you wish.

Sincerely hope this article will be helpful for you.

How to Do Alterations on a Bridesmaid Dress

posted by: sabrina category: Guides No Comments

While a wedding is definitely the big day for the bride, the bridesmaids also have an important responsibility. And despite the stereotype about the bridesmaid dress, there is no reason why the bridesmaid should not look her absolute best in the dress that has been selected for her. Altering a bridesmaid dress can be very similar to altering any other type of formal gown.

Things You’ll Need
Seam ripper
Scissors
Pins
Measuring tape
Iron
Fabric pen
Sewing machine or needles (with matched thread)

Instructions
1
Have the wearer try on the dress. Take note of what needs to be taken in and where. It helps if the dress is tried on as it will be worn and then tried on inside out. This will allow you to see the seams and where the dress can be altered.

2
Fit the dress to the wearer by pulling gently on the fabric to see where it can be taken in. A dress should fit comfortably but not too loosely, so the wearer should stand normally as she would while wearing it. As you check for the fitting, also check to make sure that the alterations will be even on both sides of the dress. The dress should be centered correctly with all seams lining up in the right place on the body.

3
Mark the alterations with pins. Once you are comfortable with the location of the pins, use the fabric pen to mark where they were. The marks should be small but still noticeable, and they should be as exact as possible. With a fabric pen, you will avoid having to pull pins out as you run the dress through the sewing machine. It also will prevent you from accidentally sewing over a pin, which can break a needle and slow you down considerably.

4
Use the seam ripper to pull the seams from the dress. Pull very gently to avoid damaging the fabric. Bridesmaid gowns are often constructed in delicate fabrics, such as satin, so be sure that you are ripping only the seams.

5
Place the new seams together and sew them, using the sewing machine or by hand. Once you have sewn the new seams—and before you trim any fabric—try the dress on the wearer to make sure it fits correctly. Check it from all angles to make sure the seams lines up correctly.

6
Trim the leftover fabric with the scissors, and then iron down the new seams. Refit the dress once more to see the finished product. Thanks for your reading. Here is a coupon code for you: p001ji834c.

Elegant Empire Dress from Peridress

posted by: alice category: Guides No Comments

When selecting a new dress or blouse, consumers have no shortage of options. One of the more popular, and oldest, styles is the empire waist. A garment with an empire waist features a waistline far higher than the natural waistline, generally cut in such a way that the waistline is just below the bust. This allows the lower section of the dress or blouse to drape over the lower body. There are many different kinds of Empire dress on our website (www.peridress.co.uk). I will show some of them here.

Tips for Choosing the Color of the Bridesmaid Dress

posted by: alice category: Guides No Comments

Every body knows that bridesmaid is the woman that will accompany the bride on the wedding day. Of course, the wedding is important for the bride who will wait for the day for a long time. but actually it is also very important for a bridesmaid. Apart from the wedding dress, it is the bridesmaid dress that should be taken into consideration. But it is needless to say that the bridesmaids come in a great variety of sizes, shapes and colors, just like the bridesmaid dresses. Not every color will look perfectly on the bridesmaid. So it is important for the bridesmaid to choose the perfect dress for herselves.

When the color theme for the wedding has been decided, it is time for the bridesmaid to decide the color of her bridesmaid dress. Generally speaking, the color of the bridesmaid dress should be in harmony with the color of the wedding. What is more, the jewel or pastel shades should complement the bridesmaid’s natural skin and hair color. Tie it all together with matching shoes and wedding flowers and the wedding will look elegantly natural. According to my point of view, the red, pink and white bridesmaid dresses are welcomed options for ladies. Red is a color that refers to the good luck and happiness in China, and that is what the wedding is about. And the pink is certainly girls’ favorite color that can make you charming all the time. As for the white bridesmaid dresses, white stands for loyalty and purity that are important in love.

Lastly, it is important for the bridesmaid to remember that the bridesmaid dresses with light colors can keep the shape very simple, preferably straight, while the dark color can make her slimmer than she actualy is. Apart from the color of the bridesmaid dresses, you should also take something more into consideration such as the price, the quality and the style. With so many factors to think about, the bridesmaid dresses will make all the bridesmaid enjoy total satisfaction.
