Hello, I just recently got my wedding dress from a sample sale, the dress was being discontinued so, even though I am short, I could not order it with a petite length. The dress has MANY layers and the top two main layers have lace detailing. I have read that often times, you can remove the lace detail on the bottom, hem, and then reapply it. However, I am very nervous to do that because of the various details such at the "stripes" of lace going down the skirt. I have also read that you can have it taken apart, shortened from the waistline, however, my dress has no defined waistline that I can see. I Love the show Reign and the wedding dress that she wore had added "pickups" (I guess you could call them) and I'm wondering if something like that could be done to my dress (starting above the bottom lace trim. Any thoughts or recommendations? Has anyone had something similar done to their dress instead of hemming? Thank you! Attached are my dress and the dress idea!
