I’ve been sewing and altering a few Bridal and Bridesmaid’s dresses this month and thought ya’ll might like to peek at the goings-ons inside of a ready-to-wear bridesmaid’s dress.

This one needed a few alterations to fit a bridesmaid attending an out-of-state wedding. The alterations needed were adjusting the hem length through the waist seam, lengthening the spaghetti straps, and taking in side seams above the lower chest. Since it has an invisible zipper through the skirt portion of the back, it became a good candidate for pictures.

If you need a basic tutorial on invisible zipper insertion click that but if you want to see the inner workings of a dress – click the image above to go to my flickr photos.
