Heirloom & Restoration Designs

There’s something magical about giving new life to a piece that already holds history. Whether it’s a gown, veil, or other heirloom you’d like to preserve, we’ll work together to honor its story while reimagining it into something that feels fresh and personal for your celebration. From restoring a vintage wedding dress to transforming cherished fabric into a little white dress, a modern veil, or meaningful accessories, each design is created to reflect both where it came from and where you’re headed.

Restoration is more than just design—it’s commemoration and sustainability in one. By preserving the details that matter most while thoughtfully updating style, fit, or embellishments, we create pieces that carry the past into your present. And because we’re re-imagining what already exists, this process not only celebrates your love story but also reduces waste, giving heirlooms a future as beautiful as their history.

Initial appointment

Bring in your heirloom piece and let’s dream up the possibilities together. We’ll chat about design ideas, timing, and budget, and I’ll take your measurements. If you decide to move forward, a $250 deposit secures the next step.

Design details

I’ll bring your vision to life with a personalized mood board, sketches, and design concepts. Once you’re in love with the direction, we’ll finalize everything with a signed contract and payment in full.

Muslin mockup

Before cutting into your heirloom piece, I’ll create a muslin mock-up tailored to your measurements. This gives us the chance to see the design on your body, make any last changes, and confirm every detail before moving forward.

Dress construction

Using the approved mock-up, I’ll craft your final design with care. Throughout the process, you’ll have 3–4 fittings to make sure everything is coming together perfectly.

Final fitting + Pick up

At your final fitting, we’ll make any last adjustments and confirm your pick-up date—typically the week of your wedding or special event.

Enjoy your event!

Now for the best part—celebrating in your heirloom design, feeling gorgeous, and making new memories in a piece full of history and love.
