What happens if I lose or gain weight in the meantime?

There are often several months between buying your wedding dress and your wedding - enough time for your figure to change. Whether you lose or gain weight: Find out here how Leaf and Lace will adjust your dress so that it fits perfectly on the big day.

Possible changes for weight loss

Make tighter

  • Shortening seams at the waist, hips or bust
  • Adjusting the straps for better support
  • Shortening or reshaping necklines

Additional stabilization

  • Inserting boning or cups for an optimal fit
  • Reinforcement of the fabric for very heavy slimming

Possible changes for weight gain

Making wider

  • Use of existing seam allowances
  • Inserting additional fabric inserts (if required)

Alternative solutions

  • Adjusting the closure (e.g. corset lacing instead of zipper)
  • Adding lace or tulle inserts for a harmonious look
