We also love giving new life to Heirloom, Vintage, and Antique Gowns!

After taking off the sleeves of this 1980's Gown, I added pockets to her dress with the extra sleeve fabric and hemmed the skirt by an inch. We finished it by adding a french bustle.

Rough estimates are provided after seeing your gown (or photos) and being advised what you need altered. Designs with lace, multiple layers, or extensive beading may vary in price.

Whether you got a dress custom made by us or elsewhere, we welcome anyone who needs alterations done!
