The other fabulous ladies up thread have great advice! I’d concur with trying a sway back adjustment and lower the waistline on the skirt just a bit, pinning it out so you can see how much you need.

It’s a toss up for me between a beaded chiffon evening gown, and a tulle ruffled ballgown. The beaded chiffon was the most challenging in every respect- keeping the silk chiffon from distorting and the tension correct as is a normal challenge, but with the additional difficulty of having to clean the beads out of the seam allowance and tie off…[Read more]
