OK...no zippers then? I guess you'll be laced from front only? I am thinking that lace up is the best way to go.


I don't recommend surging the edges. Instead, use pinking shears when cutting the pieces to prevent the fraying. It'll lay flatter and be less visible because the stitches won't be there to make an impression on the right side after it is pressed. Thank you! Great suggestion! My best friend had a lot of problems with fraying when she sewed her dress. Thank you for your continued input and rapt attention! (((Lixy)))

I just keep thinking about how heavy this dress is going to be and how warm you will get wearing it.....the way things are looking, it maybe a summer wedding, but the church does have air conditioning.

As far as thread goes. It depends on the fabric used and when you buy your fabric ask what type is best....lots of different threads out there and not necessarily the most expensive will be the best for the fabric. If you find a good fabric store you usually find good staff that are more than qualified to assist you on what to buy. Thank you, BIBI! (((BIBI)))
