| I am new to this forum! I have a dress, kind of like a prom dress, that has 3 rows of rhinestones on the back which holds the dress on. Do you have a suggestion how to connect the rhinestones to the other side so the person can keep the dress on? The rhinestones are on a row, not separate. Thanks! |

What works for me is to hand sew a small hook (hook and eyes) to the back of the end rhinestone. I then sew a matching thread loop where the strand needs to be attached. Sometimes you need to use the last 2 stones to get the hook attached securely. I hope this is what you are asking.

Thank you for your help! I have sewn the hook and eye, but I was hoping maybe someone would have a different suggestion because the hook keeps coming undone!
