Alterations / Bridal

Claire brought me this GORGEOUS couture gown by Australian designer, Suzanne Howard. Brides for a Cause had received a bundle of samples from the designer and I was lucky enough to work on four of them in 2017. Couture = fancy as f**k. Some alterations truly are a labor of love.


Alteration Details

Took in sides of bodice (4 layers total plus a thin layer of foam!); shortened bodice by 4 inches creating a more natural waist silhouette, re-stitched scallop edging at waist; shortened silk organza skirt at waist; 5 point over bustle on the organza layer
