It has rested in a preservation box for decades — too meaningful to give away, and too much of its era for your daughter to wear as it is. We restore the original silk and lace by hand, then reshape it into a single heirloom your family will keep.
An estimated 31 million wedding gowns sit boxed away in American closets and basements. Most belong to mothers who can't bring themselves to throw out the dress they married in — and to daughters who love the sentiment but have their own vision for the aisle.
So the dress waits. We give it somewhere to go: not a landfill, not a stranger's resale rack, but back into your own family, in a form someone will actually reach for.
A christening gown, worn again — a generation on.
We do two things, and only two — no design quizzes, no fittings, no catalog of novelties. Each is a fixed $750, made entirely from your own gown.
A getting-ready bridal robe, cut from your gown's silk and finished with its vintage lace — made one-size-fits-most, so there's nothing to measure. It arrives with the Heirloom Trio: a heritage handkerchief, a lace wrap for the bridal bouquet, and a matching pocket square — all laid in a keepsake box beside your original wedding photograph.
An exhibition-quality christening and baptismal gown, sewn from the vintage fabric in a standard size. It comes with a matching bonnet or booties made from the dress trim, and a heritage handkerchief for the child to keep — and one day carry down an aisle of their own.
We never start from a blank. Your heirloom is cut from the very fabric and lace your mother wore, so what comes home is unmistakably hers.
Choose a collection and reserve online. We'll email you personally to arrange your original wedding photograph.
An insured box with a prepaid label arrives at your door. Pack the dress and ship it back — that's the last thing we'll ask of you.
We clean the fabric through a trusted commercial partner, then a skilled seamstress hand-sews your heirloom from the original material.
Your finished pieces arrive in a keepsake box. Everything left over is cleaned and donated in your family's name.
Every gown gives more than one gift. After your heirloom is made, one hundred percent of the remaining fabric is cleaned, prepared, and sent where it can do real good — and you'll always know where it went.
Wearable, timeless gowns go to nonprofits such as Adorned in Grace and Brides for a Cause, whose sales fund support for trafficking survivors and women in crisis.
Fine lace and silk are given to volunteer artisans, including NICU Helping Hands' Angel Gown Program, who sew burial garments for families facing infant loss.
Dated or delicate pieces go to theater departments and textile programs, where the next generation of designers learns the craft.
We rebuild from your actual silk and satin — never a cheap blank with old lace stitched on top. What you send is what comes home.
$750, fixed. No fittings, no add-on menu, no design quiz. One clear choice, and we take it from there.
Four to six weeks, not the three to four months this kind of work usually takes. Standardized patterns keep it moving.
Tell us where to send your insured shipping box. We'll follow up personally to confirm your collection and your wedding photograph. One flat price of $750.
