Adding diamantes/sequins to a wedding dress?

I would have thought a seamstress would do it for you using the bi cone sew on rhinestones. Certainly if anyone offered to glue them on I wouldn't think that would be a good idea though. Your other options could be a sash or a brooch depending on the style of the dress

Thanks - the dress I'm looking at does have a diamante sash going across the middle but I'm not sure I'm very keen on it. It's a tulle ball gown so I just wanted some subtle sparkle added to it but so that it doesn't look cheap! Think I will have to look online and see if I can find any seamstresses that can do this.

Could you post a picture?

It's one of two dresses I'm interested in. The other dress has a beaded upper half and then a big poofy ball gown bottom but I can't get it in my size as it's from a US based website and I appear to be inbetween sizes! So I was thinking perhaps going with this one and just adding some subtle sparkly sequins.

A freelance seamstress can do the amendments for you

Definitely.

My friend is paying a seamstress to add them to her dress.

Ok good to know...any ideas roughly to how much this might cost? I don't have a clue!

I'm not sure how much my friend is paying, but I guess it also depends on how many you're adding.

Maybe budget another £100-200 depending?

Couldn't you get the one you prefer in a size up and have it altered to fit? Don't forget US sizing is completely different

Yeah that's what I'm thinking of having done. The dress has really unusual sizing so I'm currently enquiring with some UK seamstress' to see what they can do...just need to see how much it's all going to cost as have to buy it, pay for import taxes and then get it resized!

The dress above is my second favourite
