Getting Into And Out Of Your Wedding Dress

Getting Into And Out Of Your Wedding Dress

Having fallen head over heels in love with your wedding dress you are now counting down the days, weeks and months until you get to wear your dream wedding gown. It is only when you go to put it on, probably at your bridal fitting that you may realise that you don't actually know how to get into, or how to get out of your wedding dress. It is a good idea to have someone who will be with you when you are getting ready for your wedding to accompany you to a fitting so the assistant can show you and them how the dress works. This is also handy if you are having an evening loop fitted to hook up your train later on in the evening. You can also designate this job to the person assisting you with your wedding dress on the big day.

The bridal wear market has many styles of wedding dresses. Zip-backed dresses are probably the easiest to get in and most definitely the quickest for you to get out of. If your dress has a zip back and the zip is struggling to glide up on the day then a paper clip or piece of ribbon threaded through the loop may assist. Some zip back wedding dresses feature lacing or hook and eye detailing in the inner part of the wedding gown. Ensure this is done securely and comfortably first before doing the zipper otherwise you may end up fidgeting throughout your day.

Some bridal gowns feature delicate button backs. They look beautiful but can prove tricky to do up so make sure you allow plenty of time to put on your wedding dress on the day. A crochet hook can be a very useful tool for pulling over the loops onto the buttons. Begin at the bottom and work your way up. It's usually easier to undo the buttons than it is to do them up!
