  • A vintage bridal reconstruction is a collaborative and highly detailed process. Here’s what you can expect:

    Design Expertise
    We don’t just alter vintage gowns — we thoughtfully redesign and reconstruct them. You’ll receive professional design guidance to preserve the integrity of the original piece while creating something uniquely yours.

    Mood Boards & Concept Development
    We begin with inspiration and direction. Mood boards help define the vision, silhouette updates, fabric changes, and overall aesthetic before reconstruction begins.

    Dress Must Be Professionally Cleaned First
    All vintage gowns must be professionally cleaned before being brought to us. We cannot work on unclean garments due to fabric integrity and studio standards.

    Multiple Fittings
    Vintage reconstruction requires several fittings to ensure structure, balance, and proper tailoring. Expect multiple appointments throughout the process.

    Timeline: Minimum 3 Months
    These projects are detailed and time-intensive. We require a minimum of 3 months, though more time is strongly recommended when possible.

    Investment
    Reconstruction projects start at $1,500+. Final pricing depends on the complexity of the redesign, structural changes, and materials involved.

  • This consultation is dedicated to your main gown or any bridal piece you’d like tailored for your wedding day. Whether you’re working with a vintage heirloom or a new designer dress, we begin by carefully reviewing your piece, understanding your vision, and discussing fit, design details, and desired alterations.

This consultation is designed to feel personal, elevated, and collaborative giving you confidence that every detail is being handled with care.
