My bride was only 5ft2 and dress needed about 18cm shorter length. To keep her dress beautiful and as close to how the original hem looked I painstakingly took off all the beadwork & lace edging of the lace hem . Sometimes there is just no other way if one doesn’t want to compromise on how the original hem looked
It took a few days to take off every single piece of the lace . The beadwork all came off as well. I then meticulously re embroidered the pieces . To compensate for such a lift a very small piece of lace was removed and empty space became a bit less but aesthetically very close to original hem .
After measuring the net layer the shorter length is then adjusted and cut away after lace has been reattached . The placement of pieces starts to fall back into shape and the whole hem is then remade to how original hem looked like .
Very meaningful n thoughtful work of a qualified n dedicated ,to this kind of work , person Good luck for further endeavours
