Instructions on how to lace up a corset dress

emmamc01, 19 June, 2010 at 21:10 Posted on Planning 0 7

My wedding dress is corset backed but i am getting married up in Gretna Green and have no idea how to lace it up. Does anyone have a link to some guide lines for me to give my bridesmaids as when i was in the shop it always took them ages to get me into it - This is playing on my mind now x

    Start from the top and middle of the ribbon, the 2 of them will need to be doing it together and make sure they do it the same way just (whether they go over or under the loops). Do it the same the whole way down- and PULL TIGHT!!!

    I was told that you should hold your boobs into the position you want them in if not wearing a bra because otherwise when they dress is pulled your boobs will go flat (even if they are on the large side). So dress on, pull boobs into the position you want them in, the bride should hold the dress at the top (basically holding boobs in place) to prevent it slipping down as the laces are done up. The instructions Sherrie posted are the same as what my shop told me.

    Practice practice practice. My dress lacing didn't go to plan and I wish we had practiced properly. x

    There are lots of instructions on the internet on how to do this. I printed it off for my daughter because we didn't have a clue either!
