THE dress.  Your bride spent hours shopping for the perfect dress - the last dress she will wear as a single person and the first as a married one.  There is a lot riding on that gown!  What if she spills something on it before she gets to the aisle?  Or if someone steps on her cathedral length train and rips the bustle out?

There are lots of things that can go wrong with the attire on the wedding day but the Attire Rescue Workshop will prepare you to tackle all different types of situations to help everyone look their best.  Our instructors for the evening will be Cindy, La Jeune Mariee’s own professional seamstress and Lindsay, La Jeune Mariee’s owner as well as Dave from Astor and Black who will be covering the men’s side of the attire equation.

Some of the topics we will be covering include:
*the different styles of bustles you may encounter and how to fix one that has fallen or been torn out
*how to correctly lace the ever-popular corset gowns
*how to tie various types of ties including the various Windsor knots, a bow tie and an ascot
*what a pocket square is, where it goes and how to fold one properly
*hem and seam repair in a pinch
*basic stain removal - what you can usually take care of and the one stain you should never try to remove yourself!

Bring your questions and wear something comfortable - you will likely be spending some time at ground level working on hems plus this is a workshop not a lecture!  Everything you need to practice with, a mini emergency kit loaded with attire related essentials sized perfectly for your pocket or bag are included in the admission.

Join us on June 10 at 7:00 pm at La Jeune Mariee for the Attire Rescue Workshop.

Admission is $25 per person and pre-registration is required as spots are limited.
