How to Alter Strapless Dresses into More Modest Bridesmaid Dresses

Modest bridesmaid dresses are today still popular because many bridesmaid want to look covered instead of open their skin whether for the sake of personality or religion. However, strapless dress is considered as the most popular wedding dress, which means that whenever you come to a store to buy a wedding dress, a strapless dress will be always there. Wearing a strapless dress that will show up your skin quite much is not a good idea if you want to look modest. However, there are some things you can do to make your strapless dress look better and more comfortable to wear.

Strapless dress is usually opened on the top of the dress showing up the half upper part of your body in the shoulders up to the breast line. If you want to make modest bridesmaid dresses from a strapless dress, you just need to add some straps to the dress. This project can be done if you have a sewing skill. If straps even do not really help for covering your skin, you can give a shawl to the dress. Just pin the shawl to the center point of your strapless dress. The shawl can be used in another way by draping it to the shoulders for covering more skin. Only pin the shawl is useful when you cannot sew, but sewing can be safer and more effective.

However, if you really cannot sew and you do not want to ruin your strapless dress by adding a not really good additional item, you can simply buy a bolero that matches the color of your strapless dress and keep the bolero in place using jewelry pins to make it more interesting. So, there are many ways that you can do to give your strapless dress a simpler look so that they can be called as one of the modest bridesmaid dresses.
