Transforming this gown was no small feat. First, I sized it down from a size 12 to an 8 by taking in the side seams, seams, and center back through the buttons—major structural work! Then, I hem the train, adjusting the length while preserving its beautiful circular shape and button detail I also shortened the bishop sleeves; they still billow beautifully at the wrist. The bod was tailored for a perfect fit, eliminating any gaping, and I added a bustle to lift the 8ft train, a crucial detail many brides overlook for the reception. This wasn’t just alterations; it was re-engineering the dress to fit her perfectly!
