Gown bodice big

It could be a wedding dress | strapless | boned bodice | or any type of gown that is too big at the bust area.  This type of alteration can take hours, and in some cases is almost impossible.  Particularly if the bodice if the panels are created, lace is attached and then it is all put together with boning, lining etc.

Another scenario is a beaded gown.  Same principle applies.  How do you go about taking in over the bodice or down the sides for that matter, without spending hours of work.

As I have mentioned before I work on an hourly rate.  Most people who work in the service industry do.  So the longer it takes to alter a garment the more the cost to the client.

I came across a new product recently called An Invisible Bra.  It is reusable up to 25 times, and can solve the above problem if the extent of the looseness is not extreme.

Most boned bodices will have an inserted bra cup already.  Which means most people are not wearing a bra.

I had a situation recently with a  wedding dress that gaped at the front.  Even with the laced section at the back as tight as possible, there was still a small amount of gaping.

So I got her to insert the Invisible Bra, and it resolved the issue immediately.  As a bride she was extremely happy.  Then her sisters bridesmaid dress had the same issue, so she tried one on, and it solved her problem.  So she bought one.  Her mum was sitting watching the fittings and decided to purchase one as well because she wanted her bust to fit nicely into her garment.
