Remaking vintage gowns for today. . .
Your mother’s gown…your grandmother’s gown…these are beautiful glimpses into the past that you want to add to your special day. Whether it be for your own wedding gown, a baptismal gown, first holy communion dress or a dress remake to wear to your shower, I have worked with dozens of vintage dresses and love the challenge of recreating these beautiful gowns into something new and spectacular.
