How To Do Up Your Corset Back Wedding Dress
Often by the time you are ready to step into your dress your wedding hair and makeup will be finished. So I recommend stepping into your wedding dress, so as not to smudge/mess your wedding makeup or hair. Create a pocket in your wedding dress, so when you step into the dress, you can see the floor.
This is crucial as to make sure you are not stepping on any tulle layers. Which as you pull the dress up can cause the dress to rip on your wedding shoes.
Also ensure that your zip is not done up, otherwise your zip will become stuck as the corset back is being done up.

3. When putting your arms through the dress and in particular your sleeves. Hold the dress with one arm against your Bust and then slip one arm in at a time.
Position your breast into the wire and foam breast cups, so that you feel supported and comfortable.
