Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Is a lace wedding dress appropriate for a February wedding?
    I am getting married February 13 and I love a lace wedding dress. It's white and is lace. Is it too summery for a winter wedding??

    • ANSWER:
      Lace wedding dresses are beautiful. I think it will look fantastic, even in February. Congrats!

  2. QUESTION:
    Can you hem and take off the train on a lace wedding dress?
    If the dress is made of lace all the way to the bottom and has a short lace train, how hard would it be to remove the train and/or hem the bottom of the dress? Could an experienced seamstress do this?

    • ANSWER:
      Do you have a picture of the dress? My dress has a TON of beading and as with a lace dress, I thought it would be impossible to hem. Most gowns are made in such a way that they can in fact be hemmed. Dress makers know that people vary in height. Mine was able to be taken up at the waist. The dress that you are considering may not be able to be taken up at the bottom, but that doesn't mean that it can't be hemmed.

  7. QUESTION:
    Can you dye a wedding dress red? I have a satin and lace wedding dress that I would like to dye for halloween.
    Is there a way to dye the dress myself at home without ruining it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't even attempt that is I were you! Here is a question someone asked on another website:
      Hi, I was wondering if you could help me? I have a satin two piece dress that i bought for a wedding earlier this year and now my friend is having a wedding with the same dress except wine instead of silver. Is it possible to dye it and where can I get that done? Thanks Theresa
      Dear Theresa,
      Sorry, you are stuck. You can't dye a synthetic satin dress, & even if it were rayon or silk, it would be very difficult to move it from silver to dark red.
      Sorry. Have fun at the weddings.
      Jennifer

  8. QUESTION:
    What does everyone think about a black lace wedding dress?
    if the wedding is in sept, oct time?? is it too gothic? not getting married on halloween, just love the fall colors and black feels much more me...... but not too sure how the family will react.....

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't totally do an all black lace wedding dress ( but that is me personally). What you could do is have a white one but add black in little areas of the dress to make it feel more you. An example you can have a black lace belt/sash that ties in the back. Or add black lace and beading on the dress in areas by your bust and down by the end of the dress. Also remember it is your wedding day and if you want a black lace dress go for it, whatever you decide to do your family should just be happy to celebrate your special day with you. Good Luck on your dress and inyour wedding, best wishes!!

  11. QUESTION:
    Can I dye a lace wedding dress bright red?
    Anyone have any idea if this can be done? I don't want to spend a lot of money on a dress for it not to come out red in the end......

    BERLIN (AP) Prince Georg Friedrich Ferdinand of Prussia, great-great-grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II, married Princess Sophie of Isenburg Saturday, a royal wedding that has rekindled German interest in the nation's long-defunct royals.

    The couple were married in a church in Potsdam, outside Berlin, the former seat of the prince's family that ruled much of Germany until the monarchy was abolished in 1918.

    After Saturday's ceremony, the couple traveled by horse-drawn carriage to Sanssouci Palace for a dinner and ball. Several hundred onlookers lined the streets outside of the church to see the couple, who were relatively unknown until the announcement of...

    Help, my lace wedding dress is terribly stained!?
    I bought a Monique lhuillier dress at a sample sale and it's been in the closet for the last 5 months... I took it out last night to check it and the bottom of the dress is suddenly grey and dirty.

    • ANSWER:
      Wedding Dress Cleaning
      Wedding dress manufacturer´s recommend that wedding dresses be dry cleaned. You may be able to clean it yourself, but you would likely lose some of the lustre. It´s worth the extra money to have the dress professionally cleaned and have wonderful memories for years to come. Also, the cost of cleaning is much cheaper than replacing a ruined dress. Check at local bridal shops in your area to see if they can recommend a cleaner who specializes in bridal gowns. However, if you are willing to take a chance you can gently wash your dress in Woolite in the bathtub then let it air dry. Stuff it with acid-free tissue paper and store it in a 100% cotton garment bag or wrapped in 100% cotton sheets that have been rinsed with distilled water. If you choose to store it in an acid-free cardboard box, you'll need to change the box every three to five years since cardboard is absorbent and even acid-free boxes can re-acidify over time. Store it in a cool, dry place (so no hot attics or damp basements).Good Luck!!! =)

    Can the lace on my wedding dress be removed?
    I'm ordering my wedding dress online and I want a white dress but the lace to be apple red. But I'm worried that it might not be the right color as my sash from david's bridal apple red. If it is the wrong color can I take it out and replace it or I would just order it white and have it dyed. What do you all think? My main concern is can the lace be removed, then I can decided which way to go with this. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      to answer your question YES, it can be done. One thing you might want to look into is having a sash made to match the red of the lace that comes in.

      If you aren't sure where to take it, call a few local shops that sell wedding dresses and ask if they have any recommendations as to which local cleaners would be best. Maybe they'd even be able to suggest a home remedy for you.

  29. QUESTION:
    Can you alter a wedding dress to have a lace up back?
    I have a wedding dress that has buttons (for show) and a zipper. I would like for the seamstress to take all of that out and put in a lace up back. Is that possible??

    • ANSWER:
      Yep. My prom dress was button up and since it was a smidge tight (I have a large chest lol) the seamstress offered to remove the buttons and zipper and put in a lace-up back. I ended up having her take out the seems a little because I loved the buttons but had I chosen to have the zipper taken out she said it would have cost me around - which considerng the price of a wedding/prom dress, isn't too bad for alterations.

  31. QUESTION:
    Which shoes for a lace wedding dress?
    Background info: I have an off white wedding dress with a lacy bottom, need thicker heels because it's an outdoor wedding, and the heel needs to be 3 1/4 inches high. My question is, should I wear open toed or closed toed shoes? It's almost impossible to find off white closed toed shoes with a heel that is not a stiletto. I was told by the bridal consultant to not wear open toed shoes because I risk catching the lace on the bottom of the dress under my toes. Has anyone had this problem?

    • ANSWER:
      I had a garden wedding at Villa Montalvo in the oval garden. I wore off-white pumps as my dress was off white. I would suggest that you wear close toed shoes rather than wear open toed shoes and risk a mishap of falling on your special day.

  32. QUESTION:
    What color and type of shoe should I wear with this silver lace dress to a wedding?
    Here is the dress: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2953245?siteId=AHfhQmyA4L4-B8eGECPqDIFfENZuquJXrw

    I looked all over for shoes today and couldn't find much... tried Nordstrom, Macy's, Nine West, nothing. I ended up finding some stilletto strappy shoes in a very pale pink shade (which matches the pink/nude color underneath the silver lace.

    But, what do you think would go well? Type and color of shoe? Would black pumps be acceptable?

    Buttons or Lace up back wedding dress?
    I'm having my wedding dress made but undecided as to whether I should choose buttons or lace up for the back. Its a mermaid style strapless dress. Any ideas?

  34. QUESTION:
    wearing a lace up wedding dress?
    I have DD boobs and I want to wear a lace up wedding dress. Would I be able to wear a lace up corset with it? Or what would I have to do?? So it didnt look tacky
    I have a lace up corset in my closet. thats why i am asking

    • ANSWER:
      I also have DD boobs & wore a lace up corset back, strapless dress. I ended up not wearing a bra or anything because the dress was so well made I didn't need to wear one.

      One bit of advice though ~ when I went in to get measurements for my dress, they had a bra lady there to fit me with a bra. The idea was she would do the "right" bra measurement for me, sell me a bra & then take my measurements for the dress while I was wearing the bra. It sounded okay and I didn't mind spending the money because I thought this would get me the right undergarments to wear with the dress. It ending up being a *huge* mistake though! The lady didn't really carry anything in my size, and sold me this support bra that also covered my stomach (that was the only thing she had for such big boobs) The garment was uncomfortable & had so much fabric.... I ended up not wearing it with my dress after all the money I spent on it.

      So, just make sure that when you go in for your fitting, take a strapless bra with you ~ just in case. But really, as everyone has said, a lot of the better dresses have so much support & the lace up backs are so well done that you don't need a bra. Just depends on how it is made. Good luck to you! =)

    lace is machine embroidered and lightly beaded

      Lightly spray some starch or fabric stiffener on it, cover it with a clean sheet, and then put pillows or something heavy on it to flatten it, until it dries.

    Help with Sewing all over lace on my wedding dress.?
    I am sewing my wedding dress, I am using Butterick B4131. My fashion fabric is satin and I am doing lace over it.

    I need some tips to make sure that this comes out well. I am more concerned about the top. The skirt will be easy.

    • ANSWER:
      Get hold of Susan Khalje's book, Bridal Couture -- there's an excellent chapter in there on working with laces, either as applique or as shaped sections. Or check her article in Threads, #88, April/May 2000.

      Without knowing the type of lace or how you intend to apply or use it, I can only suggest getting hold of some very lightweight thread -- silk would be my choice as it practically disappears -- and using that as you're zigzagging or hand sewing the lace sections. I'd suggest Tire Silk 100Plus or Tire 50 wt:

  45. QUESTION:
    I had a dream I was in a peach lace wedding dress?
    I didn't have a clear view around me in my dream, but I remember I was looking down at myself asking someone (I have a strong feeling it was my mother), "how does it look?". And the dress was lacey on top, light peach, and got slightly darker on the bottom and silky. I'm not the type of person to look up wedding dresses & I don't think about marriage often. I never thought about peach wedding dresses. Never. But it was one of my very few vivid and memorable dreams. I was wondering what this may mean ?
    Marriage is still a long time away for me. lol.
    It could have been a prom dress but it was very long (to the floor). & prom is next year too! but I don't plan on going.

  46. QUESTION:
    My Ivory lace wedding dress?
    Can I wear a calla Lilly in my hair and have them as flowers too? What about my shoes what color should they be? White, Ivory or silver?

    Getting Married at the end of Aug should I get the long dress shortened? Please help... thank you

    • ANSWER:
      You can carry white flowers if you want, it will be fine. However, you might want to think about adding some color--think about it. Even though you're in ivory, it's going to look white in pictures, and if you're only carrying white flowers, you start looking a little monochromatic. If that's the look you want, then go for it. But I did it 21 years ago, and have since wished I would've had some color in my bouquet.

      As far as your shoes, I've worked as a bridal consultant, I wouldn't do white shoes if you're wearing an ivory dress, but any other color is fair game. I've had many brides wear blue shoes, and have that be their something blue. I've also had brides wear red shoes, which is tons of fun as well. Just make darned sure your shoes are comfortable, you're going to be on your feet ALOT on your wedding day, the last thing you want to be dealing with is sore feet. Wear your shoes around the house for at least a couple of weeks before the wedding, and break them in well.

      If you want your dress shortened, then do so, if not, then don't. That's completely and totally up to you, and what you want your look to be. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

  50. QUESTION:
    With a lace wedding dress such as 'Grace' by Maggie Sottero...?
    what would look 'cleaner' and more beautiful as a bouquet: calla lilies or roses?

    • ANSWER:
      Calla Lilies are usually thought to have more of a contemporary elegant line but it does also depend on the style of the bouquet as well as the flower used.

      Roses are the favourite flowers for many and can be tied in an elegant style - adding gorgeous ribbon or accessories to your bouquet can also give an elegant feel - find a style that you like that's most important.
