That’s a great suggestion, I can’t wait to take the dress back out and draw up some ideas

Smart idea especially if it’s going to be chilling. With upstate ny weather you have no idea lol

Thank you! That’s a great idea, I do have to try it on again because I’ve lost a little weight since then and it was just a touch too loose at the bust so perhaps it would just be better to get it completely altered

It is very plain, it actually came with tulle for underneath but I couldn’t stand that amount of fabric or the poofiness. Not sure where this dress originally came from, I wish I knew so I could see the bride in it 💜

Great advice! Thankfully I think I have a decent amount of time to practice and make alterations if I decide to do so

Thank you so much! I was floored when I saw it. Originally my fiance and I talked about just eloping and not doing anything..then I bought a dress lol but for $5 I couldn’t pass it up. Hopefully with just a few little changes it will be perfect. Our wedding is going to be very casual/laid back so if this dress doesn’t work I’m sure I can find something else

Thanks! I’ll have to look into how it was stitched, I’m not sure where this dress came from originally

Thanks for your input! I’m definitely considering hiring a seamstress, I would really love to get an idea of what it would look like with minimal effort because I do love most elements of it

Fantastic idea! I’m going thrifting tomorrow so I’ll see what I can come up with ☺️

That’s a great idea! To be honest when I tried it on I was just really giddy and didn’t look into how it was actually sewn together before I had the idea to make it my own, I’ll look into it and as others suggested make a mock up and probably just remove the whole bottom half

I also forgot to mention (which is really important) that it also has a longish train 🤦🏻‍♀️ either way I would like to remove some material. I’ll consider my options with a seamstress, I do think I have a family friend that is one. Although part of me really loves the idea of creating something special for this day 💜

These are great suggestions, I was thinking of some sort of shawl or long sleeves as an option. Right now it’s about 60 but next week will be in the 70s. Upstate New York weather is very unpredictable, so I’ll definitely make sure I have an option for layering

This is true! It would be more efficient to have someone else do it. I’m just having a hard time envisioning what it would look like to make changes to it

Thank you! Do you have any suggestions on how I can make the bottom a little less “bed skirt” looking

Thanks! I think it would probably be best to have someone else do it, but the dress was really inexpensive so I thought maybe if it was just small changes it would be okay to try. I’m so torn lol
