I bought this 1978 wedding dress from a lovely older couple off of fb marketplace. I immediately saw it and new it was the one.
Current thoughts are that we alter the neckline to show a little more cleavage, bring in the side seams, and maybe shorten the sleeves by a couple inches.
Mainly, I'm concerned about the length. I am fairly tall, about 5' 9". The dress doesn't reach the ground when I am in my bare feet. I'm concerned that it'll be an awkward length when I put shoes on. Is it possible to add length? Would it be a waste of money or something to invest in?
Honest opinions welcomed!
Please ignore the fact that I was wearing black spandex in these photos. We were unsure if I would be able to try it on in a fitting room or not.
update: I think some people are confused by what I mean by cleavage. I am not blessed in the asset department and currently I feel that this dress make me loook flatter than a cutting board. I really just want to clean up the neck line and maybe make it more of a scoop neck so that there's some sort of shaping. I hope that makes sense!
