2. Choosing Underwear


 

 

We recommend nude colored underwear, as it will be totally invisible under your outfit.

White underwear, especially traditional bridal with lots of bits and bobs, will often show through the light floaty layers.

It is really helpful to have a strapless bra with you for trying everything on when you come in to the store.

Try a Nancy Ganz nude sleek slip dress available at Farmers, Ezibuy.

 



3. How to wrap a Pas De Deux

Position seam at Centre Back.

Hold ties loosely bunched and cross firmly at the front.

Tie at back, or wrap around and bow/knot at front.

Wrapping should sit smoothly on rib cage under bust.



4. Alterations






A La Robe styles are mostly very simple to alter. 

An experienced dressmaker will have no trouble taking in or letting out, 

and lengths are easily adjusted as many styles have raw edge hemlines.

We can alter anything bought in store, prices will be quoted according to what is required.
