Attach by hand, using small, loose stitches. For a little shine and sparkle, add beads, pearls, rhinestones and sequins to your bridal ensemble. For a quick and easy finish on headpieces and other accessories use fabric glue. Clean the gown and mend any popped seams, loose buttons or trims before packing it away. These are available separately or as kits complete with care instructions from The Craftgard Co.
Padded hangers are also available.
Use sheer stabilizer under laces and sheer fabrics or to support hand beading. Firmer interfacing is sometimes necessary under satin, shantung, and taffeta, especially on collars and necklines. Horsehair braid, available in a variety of widths, is used to create shape and flare, particularly at skirt hems. Save heavyweight stabilizers and buckram for millinery, belts, and accessories. You'll also find double steel hoop wire for adding fullness to skirts, use U-Tips to cover the ends.
