Here's how I altered a sequin wedding dress that was too long for my aunt! My uncle's wedding just passed so I can finally share this transformation. Shortening the length of the skirt and sleeves is not bad to do but resizing the bodice is where it gets tricky! As long as you give yourself enough time, this style wedding dress alteration is very doable. I was on a time crunch so it was very exhausting to complete in half a day. Hope this helps you out and can save you some money for your wedding! ~April #sewingtips #weddingdresses #brides
