Easiest way to add a modesty panel to this dress, or cover up a bit more flesh!?

[lucysmam]

I'm a fairly experienced sew(er/ist?) but have never inserted a modesty panel into an item of clothing before.

I'm having a bit of an Eras Tour outfit crisis with 4 weeks until we go 🙄 & have just bought this hoping it'll be "the one" but it's far too revealing for my wonky boobs so needs a little adjusting.

Maybe a lace bralette from Primark - one of the bandeau type ones? & boob tape the dress to myself? Might be quicker than sewing 🤔

Any thoughts/ideas would be greatfully received at this point before I end up going in my bra & pants 🤣

Ahem...I may have just realised I forgot my picture ffs 🙄

& again!

Is there any way you could get a triangle of lace from one of the panels to insert?
Love the dress btw.

Can you get hold of a sequin bralet or bandeau to give it a bit of sparkle at the top?

I think the word you're looking for is seamstress. I'll let more experienced hands assist you with the modesty panel!

@merrymelodies yes! Seamstress! Thank you - total blank moment 🤣

@Fizzadora I'll see when it gets here - I may be able to match the lace closely enough with some lacey fabric if not.

@CheeseWisely I hadn't considered sequins, I'll be off to hunt Vinted again, see what I can find.

I have a high bust line and alter lots of necklines so they are not too revealing. It can often be done with very little work. Alternatively, I wear a vest or camisole in suitable colour. What does the dress look like and what is the material like ?

I have this modesty boobtube and its great for dresses like that as it is all lace and comes decently far down. Stays up nicely too

Sorry,posted before saw picture ! That is such a beautiful dress and so low that I'd just go with body tape and not try anything else.

@CMOTDibbler that's the sort of thing I was thinking.

@Achdinnae I'm not sure I'm brave enough for that! I'll see when it gets here.

Yeah to bandeau. That seems like the absolute easiest option. One like this would look ok I think?

You, or your dressmaker could insert nude powermesh into the V neck, or pale pink if you can get it, otherwise, a modesty panel which fastens to the bra would work.

Try it on with your best bra, & see how it looks.

Lovely dress! For the Eras tour I’d just wear sequins under this - something like this? http://ciderhere.com/0443wi
