I recently got a dress off of ebay. First of all, it is absolutely beautiful. I do have one concern though. It is hot glued in many spaces. I am new to the "glitz" "cupcake" style of dress, and so I was just wondering if this was quite normal. Also, she sent me "anchors" (plastic rings)and the ribbon to match in case I want to switch it over to a "tie back". I wanted to see if anyone could guide me with this task and let me know how hard or easy that is. Please no bashing though. The dress is really one of the most gorgeous my "newby" eyes have seen. I just wanted to make sure that it will do okay in the pageant, and see about turning the back over into the "tie back". Also, it currenly has two velcro patches that keep it together in the back. One on top and one on bottom and has what I believe is called a "keyhole". Not sure if this info is needed to help me!

Thanks :)

I prefer to hot glue my trim on. It's quick and stays on. I know alot of designers sew the trim on. I haven't had much luck with that so I stick with my handy glue gun. If it's glued right then you shouldn't be able to tell the difference in the finished product, glued or sewn.
