A Vintage Vision Reimagined: Molly’s Wedding Gown Story


When Molly found the dress—a 1950s vintage wedding gown with timeless charm—we knew it was the perfect canvas for something truly special. With its classic silhouette and understated elegance, it already carried decades of love and style. But together, we dreamed up a few delicate changes to bring it into alignment with Molly’s own modern, romantic vision.


Using a piece of vintage French lace from our collection, we softened the structure of the original sleeves and reshaped them into voluminous, puffed sleeves—bringing a touch of whimsy and a clear nod to regency-era romance. A carefully placed button closure down the back was added, echoing vintage detailing while also enhancing function and fit. Scattered bows, hand-sewn with care, became the perfect finishing touch—delicate and playful, just like the bride herself.


The result? A gown that felt like it had always belonged to Molly—refined, joyful, and just a little bit Bridgerton. ✨


Molly's wedding day unfolded like a storybook—from the soft morning light as she slipped into her gown, to the laughter shared with her bridal party and the quiet moments with her love before the celebration began. Her choice to wear a reimagined gown was not just a sustainable one, but a deeply sentimental one—honouring the craftsmanship of the past while creating a future memory.


Thank you, Molly, for trusting me with your beautiful heirloom and for showing us how magical a wedding dress can be when it’s personalised just for you.
