QUESTION:
Should I cleaned or altered a vintage wedding dress first?
I have a beautiful vintage wedding gown for my upcoming wedding. Although the dress is in good condition it will need to be cleaned and altered. Which should I do first? I worry about fingerprints and the like if I clean it before alterations. I worry about dirty hems being sewn into the gown if it do the alterations first. Have any of you dealt with this. Do the tailor's ware gloves and I dont need to worry?
- ANSWER:
  Clean it first, you may find that the cleaning didn't get out what you wanted, and then you are out all your alteration costs if you did them first - Plus, if something happens (say some beading or a button comes off) - you can have your seamstress fix that with the rest of the alterations.
  
  If you have a good seamstress, she won't touch your gown before washing her hands! My seamstress has a separate sewing room that no one goes past the threshold but her. She lays plastic on the floor and then washes her hands well before starting on a gown.

Top Indian Wedding Songs (All Time)

An Indian wedding cannot be without music and songs, shor sharraba, band and baja If that were the case, it would simply not be an Indian wedding. A wedding in India has to be vibrant. There are movies galore depicting the Indian wedding to give you an idea of how awaited and musical these events are. There is a huge selection of Indian wedding music available to use. I guess one needs to make a selection based on the audience - the age groups, village urban divide and on whether it is a wet or dry affair - all contributing...

QUESTION:
How much would a 50's vintage wedding dress from Bergdorf Goodman be worth?
Color of the dress is ivory.
Beading on the dress is hand sewn.
The material the dress is made of is organza/lace-y type of material.
Comes with a hat that is beaded as well, where the veil was attached to as well.
It is in good condition, in its original box.
- ANSWER:
  Whatever someone else is willing to pay for it and not a penny more. These things have no real absolute value. It's not like a gold coin or something that can be calculated. What it's worth in this economy might be a whole lot less than what it was worth 10 years ago when people were spending like crazy. What it's worth in NY will be a whole lot different than what it's worth in Montana.

QUESTION:
Altering a vintage wedding dress?
I am planning on wearing my Fiancee's grandmother's wedding dress. Some minor alterations are needed as she had a larger chest and smaller arms than me. Does anyone know of any reliable places for alterations around the Western to Central part of Oklahoma. The dress is well kept brocade silk.
- ANSWER:
  The best way to find a qualified seamstress is to go to a fabric store and ask the ladies at the cutting counter if they can recommend someone who can help you. Avoid dry cleaner seamstresses. Although they are good at hemming and other alterations, they do not specialize and are unlikely to have experience in heirloom reconstruction. Ask everyone you know if they know a seamstress and you are bound to find someone to take the bust in and let the arms out or add gussets under the armcye. If you are unable to find someone local, you may have to expand your search into the nearest city.
  
  If the dress needs to be cleaned, please do so before bringing it to your seamstress. Sometimes old clothing falls apart when cleaned and the last thing you want to do is have and pay for this dress to be altered and have it fall apart during the dry cleaning process. Better to know what you have to work with before alterations, so do have the garment professionally dry cleaned, okay?

Looking for a vintage style wedding dress...?

QUESTION:
What does it mean that a wedding dress is vintage but I can buy it from her?
I asked a complete stranger on Facebook where she got her dress but I told her that I'm not engaged I just want a dress like that when I do get married.

She said it's vintage but I can buy it off her. But I am poor. I'm sure that nice modest looking dress is worth more than 1k!

I saw her in a wedding aisle dance video on Youtube
- ANSWER:
  it just means that the dress is genuinely old....made in another era and that she is selling it. if you are not engaged, there is no point in buying a wedding dress. when you do become engaged, if you want a vintage wedding gown, there are plenty of places to buy them and they are not that expensive. just wait until you need one and then look up "vintage wedding gowns" or "vintage style wedding gowns" and you will see lots.
QUESTION:
Where can I find vintage-like dresses?
Like vintage wedding dresses, lacey stuff. That off-white or white color, but not necesarily at all. But not expensive and probably not actually vintage. Because it would be expensive.

QUESTION:
wedding dress: vintage or vera wang?
Im in such a fix and i dont know what to do...my bmaids etc arent being much help. I cant decide between two dresses i have for my wedding. I dont knw how to add images on here, so i will do my best to describe...i really could just do with an opinion.
the vera wang one is ivory and similar to the diana dress...tight body, sweet heart neckline with ruffled organza around the bottom. very girly and contemporary.
The other dress is an original early 60's vintage dress, its a tight almost hour glass dress with cap sleeves and an empire nipped in waist but with an unusal hobble skirt/train.
my wedding is more towards the unusal/vintage style throughout, the dress is very hepburny and i know that no one else will have one or had one...it will really stand out.
but at the same i dont want to look frumpy or like i got it from a charity shop or like the dress is too old for me and covers too much up...the wang is strapless and little more fun.
im really upset because i cant choose...what do you think? without sounding too mushy my future husband is my best mate and it kills me that i cant ask him his opinion as he cant see it, i think thats why im caught up and getting upset because i could really do with his help right now!!x
- ANSWER:
  The Vera Wang one sounds very romantic and sophisticated. It seems like a very pretty dress (the Diana dress is BEAUTIFUL!).
  On the other hand, the 60's vintage dress sounds very...vintage-y--but not very pretty...
  
  Well, it's your choice.
QUESTION:
Need Sewing Pattern for Vintage Wedding Dress!?
The era I'm looking for is late 1800's early 1900's.
There is a gorgeous dress with a bustle in the window of a shop in Disneyland in Anaheim, CA that I would like to either find the pattern for or make one myself. Any good sites on making vintage dress patterns from scratch? - any help would be appreciated
- ANSWER:
  i have a couple links that might be of use. First link has a few free patterns from the eighteen hundreds. http://www.tudorlinks.com/treasury/freepatterns/index.html
  
  Next, these guys make reconstruction clothing and they have good on line lessons on making a basic bodice block for pattern drafting. http://design.seamlyne.com/bodice/bodices.asp
  
  Making a pattern from scratch is difficult for someone without pattern drafting experience. Try one of the first site's patterns in scrap cloth and alter to fit. These dresses were drafted for the corseted figure, so you will need to make the waist larger. There are many commercial pattern available in historic dresses in almost all eras, from Ancient egypt to the 1950's and everything in between. They are a bit pricey, but the come with instructions, suggestions and they are drafted to fit the modern body. I highly reccomend following a pattern for something this ambitious.
QUESTION:
Redesigning a vintage wedding dress?
My fiancee's grandmother wants me to wear her wedding dress which is brocade silk. I am looking at this but need to know more about what alterations can be made. Does anyone in the Oklahoma area (especially central western Oklahoma) know of a good trustworthy seamstress?
- ANSWER:
  I agree with SugarCat. Do not wear this dress if you do not love it just to please your future in laws. Your trying to alter it is a sign that you do not like it as is. You owe it to yourself to keep looking until you find the dress that you want to wear. Gently tell Grandma that her dress may not be for you.

vintage or classic?
What's the difference?
What would a romantic/juliet wedding dress by considered as--vintage or classic?

  Classic, probably ball gown or a-line. Vintage is more of a fashionista look. It's a traditional veil that will truly make you look romantic though.

I like the following qualities:
--Lace sleeves that barely extend beyond the shoulders
--Long train
--V-cut back

Thanks for the help!
- ANSWER:
  I would show a seamstress and see if she could make something for you.
  
  Sorta similar ones:
  
  http://www.bonny.com/010.html
  
  You can do the sleeves so that they drape down or create an open shoulder sleeve. Kind of pretty I think
  http://www.bonny.com/941.html
  
  Not a v shape back though

I am getting married June 12, 2010 to a US Marine who is wearing is dress blues!! We are getting married in a little wooden country church in our hometown of Mississippi! I am looking for an ivory or white dress with lace!! Very vintatge inspired but at the same time something suited for a summer wedding!! We will have the traditional tunnel of swords and all the pictures will be black and white so I need something that will look beautiful and vintage in all the pictures!!

QUESTION:
should I keep a vintage wedding dress?
Hi I recently ordered a vintage dress for my hen do (which was scheduled for Halloween Saturday this year). The plans have now changed and my hen do is cancelled. Yeah I know, but let us not go there. I can return the dress, but the problem is... I really like it! Where would I wear it? am I just being silly? I mean it is just a dress but I really have fallen in love with it. I should grow up and start thinking money- it was not cheap, so I'd better return it and get a refund... but ....what do I do? I am wearing it as I type this and I want to tell myself I can keep it, but...what for?
- ANSWER:
  As a 27 year old man , not sure how relevant this is haha , but I would keep it , if you like it and fell in love with it , why not keep it for safekeep for the future ?
  
  You can still wear it another time , or when you have a little girl grown up , you can pass it down the line to her...
  
  Keep it.. !

QUESTION:
Vintage wedding dress restoration. Seattle, WA.?
I want to wear my grandmothers/mothers wedding dress for my wedding. It is in pretty bad shape though. Does anyone know of a good trust worthy place i could have it cleaned/restored in or near Seattle, WA?
- ANSWER:
  I believe on Queen Anne hill at the top, right before the four way stop, there's a wedding restoration place on the right if you drive up the hill. My sister had my mothers dress restored there after it was attacked by mosquitos and a 4 year old. What kind of shape is it in? Torn? Miscolored? You can probably also find places in chinatown that you can have the dress re-created for you to wear and get your grandmothers preserved instead.

Anyone wear a vintage wedding dress?
