Love your videos… seamstress of 50+ years (near Pittsburgh, Pa ) & I’ve seen just about everything. So important to plan things ahead is great advice. The last minute things that stress you really can often be avoided. Like you mentioned this is supposed to be beautiful and fun. And the best advice to give is to do this ahead. I have girls that want to bring in their gown that they didn’t, yes didn’t try it on when they picked it up. It’s now 3 mos. later & they have no idea if it still fits. And many times they do not!! News bulletin if it barely zipped at the dress shop when you bought it and it’s 3,4,5 mos. later, there’s a good chance it won’t when you put it back on. Anyway great advice!! The good side is most brides well planned & stay on a schedule. Today you can google anything. This is definitely that time. Great job!! Wish we lived closer!!

I am trying to let out a 40 year old dress top bodice is lace with lace sleeves . It wont zip up and too tight in the underarm area.

Hi Ava... I'm In South Africa. Can one not put corset laces under each of the arms...take zipper away and do a lace feature like the ones that are done at the back sometimes?

Hi there, any chance you could do a video on the different legnths that trains can be in? 🥺I can't find any videos on it and all the pictures I find seem to be different and hard to understand 🥺

[@AvasBridalCouture]

Jade, great topic thank you for the comment!
Would you send me a DM @Avasbridalcouture? I have a few follow up questions so my video has clarity for ya and isn't too broad.
Can't wait to chat 🖤🤍
