How to Hem a Wedding Dress With a Train?
Step 1
It is crucial to acquire an accurate measurement of the growth. So, try the grown-on and figure out how much hem you need. Once you do that, mark the places.
Step 2
Take your dress and lay the hem on your working table. Now, use a seam gauge to cut it into an accurate measurement. You’re gonna need some pins to hold the fabric in one place. In this case, if you find that you have less than 2 inches, consider half of your job is done. But if you have more than 2 inches, you’ll need to hem all the way around. In my case, I had to remove 4 inches from the bottom.
Step 3
After correctly measuring and marking the spots, take your rotary blade and cut along the drawn line. Don’t rush; take your time.

Now, use a serger and color thread that matches your dress and finish sewing the raw edges. It is recommended to check the serger stitch so that nothing goes wrong. You may find some errors, but within a short time, you will find the appropriate settings for your beautiful dress.
Step 5
It’s time to stitch the hem up. So, take your dress and attach the hem using the matching thread. That’s it; your dress will be ready to use.
