Your loved one's gown can be yours, too, with our heirloom gown and veil restoration services.

Most brides do not know the potential of the gown or veil worn by someone such as their mother or grandmother.  For some brides, it is a matter of restyling and/or cleaning.  For others, fitting the gown may be complicated as sizes and shapes change from generation to generation. Many brides may have difficulty salvaging a poorly preserved garment or heirloom veil, which are often discolored, torn, or styled inappropriately for today's bride.

There are, however, solutions that talented, trained, and experienced individuals can provide. Our seamstress, Maria, and our salon owner, Roseanna, have nearly sixty years of combined experience restoring heirloom lace and fabric. Their expertise will transform your gown or veil so that you will gladly wear this family treasure.

Consultation is $75, which ensures that you are given the time and attention needed so that we can discuss all of the possibilities with you.

Thanks so much for all that you did to alter my grandmother’s, mother’s, aunt’s, and great aunt’s wedding dress to make it my own special dress. … The dress was perfect!
- emma, an altered bride, 2004

The dress was perfect, despite the forty-nine years of prior neglect, … [and] looks as if it were made for her … We could not have been happier with the result of your talent and creativity.”
- becky, mother of an altered bride, 1998
