ok for all of you seamstresses out there. i have a smooth gown that still has the feathers on the bottom. my problem is if i take the feathers off, the dress will be way too short. i am having a hardt ime thinking of something to do to the botom of it to replace the length if i take off the feathers. the feathers are about 5 or 6 inches in width so i would need at least that much replaced.

any ideas?

Satin bands at the bottom of dresses have become popular. I don't know if it would look goofy if it were 5 or 6 inches wide, though. Still, it's something to consider. All you'd have to do is find some satin -- it doesn't even have to be stretchy -- that is the same color or a coordinating color with the dress.
