The last thing on your mind as a bride is your dress getting torn as you put it on that morning as your groom and guests wait. We cannot always expect everything to go as planned so you should always be prepared for the worst. On the day of your wedding there are some essential items that you should have. These include:
-Sewing needles that have already been threaded. Make sure the thread matches the color of your wedding gown.
-Some safety pins to keep the hem in place as you repair the dress.
-Dress tape to keep your wedding gown from slipping off when you are at the ceremony.
-Baby wipes for the bride's dress.
-Hair spray and a hair dryer.
-An extra pair of opaque pantyhose in the color your wedding gown.
-A pair if scissors and a piece of paraffin wax.
Some of the accidents that can happen include:
When the zipper sticks
The paraffin wax can be applied on the zipper and this will make it slide without much effort. Do not worry about the wax because nobody will notice it is there. The paraffin was usually dissolves after some time because of your body heat. Make sure that you apply the wax on the inside of your wedding dress so that you do not mess it up.
Zipper sticking on the gown
Remove the gown and try to get the fabric out of the zipper gently without pulling or tugging on it. Move the zipper up and down until the fabric is free.
A spot on your gown
This is where the baby wipes come in handy especially if the dress is made from polyester material. Never try to wash out the stain as this just makes it even more noticeable. Dry it out with a hairdryer or put some club soda on it and rub with a piece of white cloth. Make sure you are blotting the stain inwardly to prevent leaving a ring where the spot was.
Have a snag in the gown
The snag can be removed by pulling the material from one side to the other. Cutting the snag will just leave a gaping hole on the gown so avoid that at all costs.
Makeup on your dress
For this, you can use baby wipes to blot it away carefully.
Ink stains on your dress
The hairspray will help you get the stain out very easily by spraying some on a white cloth and blotting it out.
If your dress is too tight
When putting on the dress, zip it up to the point where you are comfortable and have the zipper tab locked down. Dress tape can be used to keep the places that are not zipped in place.
Loose dress
Put a safety pin on the inside of the dress on a dart beneath the arm where the seam is and then use some dress tape to keep things in place.
A torn veil
If is too small to be seen, leave it like that but if it is not, then you can use some dress tape for that.
