Hi there,

My son’s girlfriend needs to make larger, her homecoming dress.  She wants to remove the back zipper and then replace it with gromets and ribbon, corsette-like.  The visual she has is that the back will become an open “V” from the lower back.   The dress is styled like a tube dress.  Meaning it stops right above the bustline.  Sleeveless, shoulderless.

I have never worked with gromets before and am scared to ruin the dress.

Is this a good idea or should we consider something else.

The fabric is silver sequened.
