Can i use bejeweled on my wedding gown?

I want to add swarovski cristals to my wedding gown... can i use the bejeweled hot tool to do it or will it damage it? Thanks!Can i use bejeweled on my wedding gown?
That would depend on the fabric...
Can you? Sure. Should you? NO. If you have to ask, I can only assume that you are not a professional seamstress or designer!



Don't tinker with your wedding gown yourself. Bad idea. If you want some crystals (I think that's what you meant) added to your gown, you'll need to see a professional. The cost may vary, depending on where you live and how many crystals you want.



Just remember, even one or two well placed and professionally done crystals will look much better than a bunch of haphazard, crooked, unprofessionally placed crystals done with essentially a children's toy. ;)



What ever you do, don't do it yourself. There are smarter ways to save money. If you ruin your gown, you'll need to have enough money to repair it. If you're trying to save money, this just doesn't make any sense. If you want a personal touch because you want to do something yourself and you are an artistic person, why not sew your names and wedding date into the *inside* of the gown in blue thread? Or use your favorite colour or your wedding colours.Can i use bejeweled on my wedding gown?
Are you having your wedding in a trailer park too?



Not to be harsh, but it's a completely idiotic move to use a "bejeweled dazzler" to add crystals to a dress. You just dropped a good bit of money on a dress - unless you are a professional, you need to have an experienced seamstress make any changes to your dress that you want.Can i use bejeweled on my wedding gown?
I wouldn't do that on a garment you just spent 3 or 4 figures on! if you ruin it you'll never be able to re-sell it to get $$$ to buy another gown. take it to a seamstress and have them secure the crystals with fabric glue or embroidery. only a trained professional should make any alterations to a gown.
Personally I would have someone professional adding any type of beading to my dress. You want to look like you spend a million buck and I can understand that. But getting someone to add some beads on for you for an extra $ 20 is not going to hurt the pocket book that bad. Good Luck and I'm sure your going to look beautiful. Congrats on your by coming wedding!!
Ok, even I as the cheapest person I know, know that this is a BAD IDEA. Either spend the money on a dress with crystals or simply go without. Thats way tacky.
