A vintage long-sleeve gown, rebuilt as strapless
A vintage dress with long sleeves became a strapless gown, with the structure of the dress seen to so it held without them.
What came in
The bride brought in a vintage dress and asked for a long sleeve gown to be turned into a strapless one. A strapless conversion is never only a matter of removing the sleeves, because the gown has to hold itself up once they are gone.
What Nina did
Nina took the dress from long-sleeved to strapless and, in the bride’s words, made sure the structure of the dress was well while doing it. The bride said Nina went above and beyond, and was able to see her vision for the gown.
The work itself
- Sleeve removal
- Conversion to a strapless neckline
- Structure of the dress checked and made sound
In the bride’s words
Nina is the absolute BEST. I brought in a vintage dress and asked to turn a long sleeve dress into a strapless dress. She was able to go above and beyond by making sure the structure of the dress was well and to accomplish my wishes. So grateful to have found someone who was able to see my vision with my wedding dress! You ROCK Nina!
