Is this crinoline or petticoat mesh (or something else) and can I cut it without it falling apart? The bottom of the tulle layer of this dress is wrapped around it (I'm assuming it serves as a stabilizer and adds shape) and I need to take an inch off of the bottom of the dress. Would I be better off removing the mesh strip from the tulle, sliding it up an inch, trim the excess tulle, then reattach the mesh to the tulle? I'm concerned that if I trim it, it will have sharp points where I cut across it or worse yet, the whole strip unraveling... Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
