Shortening a dress?
For homecoming dance (this saturday) I got a really nice dress. the only problem is that it falls three inches past my feet. My mom says if i dont figure out how to shorten it or grow anoter few inches before saturday, she'll let my sister wear the dress instead because she wants to wear it now. Which isnt really fair since i was the one who found.
But anyway, is there anyway to shorten the dress by a few inches? I really need to know before saturday. please help!!

Your best bet would probably be to go to a tailor and have them shorten the dress, or you could hem it to a shorter length yourself. I hope I helped!

try some higher heels. or just fold it under and safety pin it, yea it isn't the best looking, but who is going to be looking at the ground anyway. hope i helped

Hey,
If you want to shorten the dress in a temporary way, so that your sister may be able to use it at a later time....go to a craft store or walmart and get some bonding tape, you just fold the dess up to where you want the new hemm and iron the tape on...it only takes minutes...then later just pull the tape off, you can use a warm iron if the fabic is delicate...the tape cost less than $5.00, then it will be back to the old size for your sister...
