What does a vintage wedding dress cost?

From N$ 4,000, depending on fabric and hand-work.

Can you copy a dress from a photograph?

No. We use pictures as a starting point for a conversation, but we do not replicate another designer's gown. We design your own version.

Vintage Wedding Dresses
made to measure

Vintage means one of two things here: a new gown drafted in the language of another decade, or an heirloom taken apart and rebuilt to fit you. We do both, and the second is often the most moving thing we make.

How we cut it

For a rebuild we unpick, clean, replace perished linings and re-cut to your measurements, keeping the original lace wherever it will survive. For a new gown we draft period-accurate seams — a 1930s bias cut, a 1950s waist, a 1970s sleeve — with modern internal support.

Heirloom gowns, church weddings, and brides drawn to a particular decade.

Aged silk can tear on the needle. We assess an heirloom in person or from detailed photographs before we promise anything.
