Wedding Dress Emergency 101! Tears, stains, broke Wedding Dress Emergency 101! Tears, stains, broken bustles – oh my! But don’t stress; we’ve got you covered: ✔️ Identify your fabric (silk stains differently than polyester!) ✔️ Carry baby powder, wipes, and a mini sewing kit. ✔️ Safety pins = the real MVPs. Because the only thing you should worry about is saying, “I do!” Find more tips at the link in our bio. [Image one description: a shot of a bride walking in a field is overlayed by a navy blue text box that reads: “Quick Fixes for Wedding Dress Emergencies. With Sally from Wedding Gown Specialists”. Image two: The navy background reads, "Have you thought about the things your wedding dress might need on the day? What if something spills or a loop on your bustle breaks, or you step on your gown and tear it? Here are some things that could help: Emergency: Fibre. Be sure you know the fibre of your wedding dress or outfit! Satin, crepe, chiffon, velvet, and all those other fabric names are just a way to describe how the fibre is woven. For example, silks and rayons, particularly silk and rayon velvets, are water-sensitive, and you can easily turn stains into permanent water spots." Image three: text continues: "Emergency: Liquid or Makeup spills. It’s better to hide stains on silk than to try to remove the stain. You can use baby powder to mask the stain and absorb it, too. Artificial fibres such as polyester, you can use baby wipes or stain sticks to lift the stain. Always test whatever you are going to use on an inside seam where it will not show if you damage the fabric." Image four: text continues: "Emergency: Rips and Tears. If nothing else, be sure you have lots of safety pins on hand to hold together a broken bustle or secure a loose strap. A mini sewing kit Is useful, of course, but safety pins are faster, and sometimes pinning a stain into a fold can hide stains better than a needle and thread. Pin some extra safety pins near the hem inside your gown where you can easily find them. If you run out of safety pins, you can use sticky tape or double-sided fabric tape."] #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo
