Can you reshape plastic boning in a wedding dress??

Question

My friend is getting married tomorrow, sort of last minute, & we are trying to fix her wedding dress for her. The boning on the chest area is shaped a little funny to her. So we were wondering is there a way to bend or reshape the boning in her dress at all, on our own, of course. Anyway tips would be great! Thanks!

Answer 1

Why do you want to reshape plastic while boning in a dress? Am I missing something here?

Answer 2

Try warming it up, like steaming it with an iron steam, and try shaping it that way.  Or just take the boning out.  (From the inside, just a small slit and pull the boning out.)

Answer 3

No. Even if you could, you would have to have a seamstress do it for you. Most aren't going to waste their time attempting it.

Answer 4

In the interest of keeping your friendship, I would not be the one to try to fix her wedding dress without professional help the day before the wedding.  If she's lived with it up until now, I suggest she roll with it down the aisle & enjoy her special day.  Don't be the one she goes off on because this crazy plan doesn't work. = /  Best of luck!

Answer 5

Oooh yikes! It's probably a little too late to be messing around with the dress- I'd be scared to do anything to it! Good luck!
