Dress Hems: 20 Easy to Alter Formal Wedding Gowns – DaVinci Bridal Blog

To save on wedding dress alterations—or—to find a gorgeous formal gown for a last-minute wedding, try our Dress Hems 20 Easy to Alter Formal Wedding Gowns.

As long as the bodice fits perfectly, all the wedding dresses in this curated collection are quick & easy to alter. Your seamstress will only need to raise the hem, adjust the length of the straps, or maybe both.

This collection is organized from the easiest wedding gowns—hem only—to those that require only one or two inexpensive alterations.

TIP: Ask your seamstress only to adjust the front hem. If you leave the train length as-is, you’ll save a bundle!

 

How to Choose a Formal Easy to Alter Wedding Dress:

  • Put on the gown with the shoes you plan to wear.
  • Include any slimming undergarments.
  • Choose a size in which the waist & bust fit without any fuss.
  • Also, choose a style with a simple skirt or an uncluttered hem—avoid sculpted lace hems, too much beading & 3D embellishments that are close to the hemline.

 

If you already have your dress:

  • Try it on with your shoes & undergarments
  • As long as the waist & bust still fit like a glove, just hem your dress & you’re ready to go.
