Whether you’re sewing your own wedding dress or need to adjust the length of a store-bought or heirloom bridal gown, the hem is an important finishing touch. You can sew the hem for a wedding dress using a sewing machine, but it’s best to stitch it by hand. This will help hide the stitches and, more importantly, keep the lower edge of the dress smooth and flowing. If you do sew the hem by machine, use a fine-tipped needle designed for delicate fabrics and make sure the tension is not too tight. In any case, the first step in hemming a wedding dress is to get it the right length. For this, you’ll need two people: the bride and a helper. It also helps to have a mirror, preferably floor-length.
