The battery packs (4) were held in place in fabric pockets I added to the hoop skirt worn under the dress. <br><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creativity</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/twinklingLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>twinklingLights</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/customBridal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>customBridal</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ottawaDesigner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottawaDesigner</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/bridal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridal</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/bespoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bespoke</span></a></p>
