I think I'm going to make this dress for my brother's wedding in August
With the fabric (shown below) which is silk.
However it's too low at the front and the back (for me for a wedding, I think I should be wearing a bra) and too long.
I am ok with altering the length but it's the front and back I'm not so sure about.
Could I make the front and back less low by altering that pattern (you can see there is a midriff piece the bodice attaches too that could make it tricky?) Or I just use another bodice altogether?
I like the back of this dress a lot more than the front (I would be less self conscious about having a dress with a low back than I would the plunging front) so is there a way to keep the back as it is but insert a mesh or lace panel? What would go with the fabric? And then how would that affect getting the dress on and off? Or get one of those bras that has a really low strap (any good?)
Any suggestions people?
