Vintage Gown Re-do for Bride Monica

Another Vintage gown re-do!

This time we used the majority of the original bodice but tossed the skirt for a more slim modern cut. Also over time, as you can imagine, the original tulle fabric was stiff, discolored, and covered in a vine lace pattern the bride did not love.

We actually had a more fitted nude-colored mermaid skirt under our first toile but we opted to go with the more traditional ivory in the end.

The bodice was covered in pearls that were removed. I used a second supplementary lace for the skirt and incorporated it into the bodice for a little sparkle and a modern touch. You might not be able to tell from the photos, but there is one layer of green glitter tulle on the skirt. ✨

I also created a custom cathedral veil for the bride Monica as well, and you can see her wearing it in the final photos.

Congratulations!
