Because if you can defuse a bomb with some twine and a rubber ducky, you can fix a dress with a broken hanger.

I see this so often – only not cleverly done, to adjust a dress that is actually being tried on, but rather sneakily done by the sales staff to make a garment appear more flattering to the mannequin and (I suppose) potentially more flattering to the buyer. (Also, I think the idea is to prevent a bomb from being diffuse, which gets messy – maybe defuse?)
Quite right. Quite right, indeed.
I love all of the random clips and fabric panels that get added to help with wedding dress fittings. The clips on my dress were giant red clamps that looked similar to vise grips. And since my wedding color is red, my mom naturally assumed that they were an intended part of the dress.
That could work. Sort of dinosaur-spike chic. Put your hair in a faux hawk and you have a look, lady!
Wedding planning, DONE!
Haha, Tia’s dress-fitting (at least the one I was privy to) involved the same big red clamps as Anne’s. I wonder if you could get those suckers included with your dress purchase if you say you like it like that.
