This is a custom Day Of Bridal Robe made from the Mothers vintage wedding gown for her daughter. The lace was taken from the MOB's dress and added to the Custom Robe. A treasured gift from Mother to Daughter.A family heirloom for many years to come. It is custom work and involves many hours of work.
We also do vintage bridal etc.

Corset backs
This is a corset back I added to a dress. I make a lot of corset backs. In some situations I can add side panels to make the dress fit better. If you are pregnant
and your dress won't zip a corset back is probably your best option depending on the dress style.
Much more than an ordinary alterations business.
