Gown Hem & Braid Update
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a formal gown that needs two key updates before an upcoming event. First, I’d like precise shortening/lengthening so the dress skims the floor perfectly once I’m in my heels. Second, I want to refresh the look by adding or removing embellishments—specifically, I need horsehair braid work at the hemline.
You’ll handle:
• Adjusting the overall length for an even, polished drape.
• Neatly taking out the horsehair braid along the hemline and bringing it up to the new hemline ensuring the new finish matches the gown’s original stitching quality.
Please have experience with delicate evening fabrics and formal-wear construction. Let me know your timeline for fittings, any fabric or braid you’d prefer I source in advance, and photos of similar alteration work you’ve completed.
