Getting Into And Out Of Your Wedding Dress  2

Corset or lace back wedding dresses can also be time consuming to put on. Start lacing the gown at the top of the bodice, ensuring that the lacing thread or ribbon is of even lengths either side. Check that you are happy with positioning of the dress and that there is no gaping around the neckline and is sat where it should be on the bustline before the person doing up the lacing starts. 

If the bride places her hands on her waist it will help keep the dress in place and create an illusion of a smaller waist. As the person lacing your dress threads the lace through the loops they should be going in the same direction to create a symmetrical pattern. The laces should be tightened as they work their way down the V shape back, ensuring that the lacing is not twisted and stays flat. On reaching the end of the lacing it can then be tied securely in a bow. It is a personal choice as to whether you have the remaining ribbon left trailing outside of your wedding dress or tucked in. Have a look in the mirror at both options to you as to which you would prefer. Thankfully, for the groom, lace back wedding gowns are easier to get off than what they are to put on. Unfasten the bow and pull out the lacing - Simple!

One last tip if your wedding dress is going on over your head is to place a towel over your face and put your arms up, above your head to prevent any make up transferring onto your bridal gown.
