Words to take to your supplier
Structured A-line wedding dress An ivory A-line dress has a defined bodice and a skirt that opens gradually to the floor. What I want to borrow: A structured bodice and open skirt give a clear waist line with space around the legs. Adaptation to discuss: Try a version with fewer underlayers if the full skirt feels hot or difficult to manage. Sit with the fabric arranged as it will be at dinner. Questions for our supplier: • Can we see how the neckline and waist sit when I am seated? Scope to confirm: Structured A-line wedding dress Responsible people: Wearer and the fitter or outfit supplier Before confirming: Can we see how the neckline and waist sit when I am seated? Working example (replace with actuals): Try a version with fewer underlayers if the full skirt feels hot or difficult to manage. Sit with the fabric arranged as it will be at dinner.
