Haley and her mom came to me with her mom’s vintage wedding dress still in the preservation box with hopes we could create her a fun reception dress from it. We took it out together and she tried it on. As you can see below, it had a pretty good overall fit! She is so similar to her mother’s size at that age.
Once she had it on, we were able to look at her inspiration pictures on her phone and determine if this dress could be made into one of her inspiration pics.
Most of Haley’s inspiration pics were of mid-century style tea length dresses so we started designing together a spaghetti strap tea length gown with a full skirt and fitted waist.
The vintage gown had a few stains and tears here and there that I avoided when cutting out the new dress.
I was also able to work with Haley on a custom-made bridal veil, her other wedding dress alterations, and her mother’s MOB dress alterations.
Haley was married on 7-23-22.
