Vintage Mother’s Dress Redo!
I love working with brides on altering/modernizing their mother’s gown to fit them.
Maggie made it easy because she and her mother had such a similar fit.

Gorgeous vintage veil! I had to clean just a few spots up and remove the top layer of tulle to make it perfect

I wanted to share some BTS photos of alterations/custom work I did on Rebecca’s wedding dress. I was pleased to be working with one of my idols dresses—Leanne Marshall.
The dress did not fit her so one of the few solutions to fixing that is by adding a corset back. Since she did not come with extra fabric, and Leanne Marshall is known for her unique and gorgeous colors, color matching with store bought fabric was nearly impossible.
Luckily, for Rebecca, I am skilled in dying fabrics, and began a dye bath for the tulle fabric, the silk charmeuse fabric, and the cotton lace appliques.
I also added bust cups, boning, and bishop sleeves to her gown.
I am very excited to see photos of her on her big day! Will post ASAP.
