Our model Pat wears her vibrant pink, lace ballroom dance dress. This Dancesport ballgown is eighteen years old and she wants to update it.

Join Pat and I as we discuss seven ways to give her dress a new look and make it fit better.

7 KEY STEPS TO UPDATE A LACE BALLROOM DANCE DRESS 
1) Decide which design elements of the dress you really like and want to keep.
2) Determine any parts of the dress you want to change. Be specific.
3) Tighten any loose shoulder elastics or support straps.
4) Analyze the bodice to determine if the body suit or the overdress needs to be adjusted so it fits well.
5) Decide if the sleeves or arm treatments are the correct length and tightness. If the dress is sleeveless, do you need to add sleeves?
6) Look at the skirt and decide if it needs to be longer/shorter or have more/less volume for the current trend.
7) Check the entire dress for tiny holes, fabric tears or seams that have popped open so they can be fixed.
