Ever looked at a wedding dress and thought “I love it, except for…”? Well, you’re in luck. There is a lot that can be done for a dress with one element you don’t like. A seamstress can take a dated design and make it modern and one of a kind!

Often when we get dresses with a lot of hidden potential, we’ll give them to a seamstress to go all out and turn a dated gown into a lovely, unique dress. We get some amazing results back!

These redesigns by Samantha of Sparkle & Pomp have sold exceptionally quickly (the lace one is still available as I write this), but we wanted to show you some examples of the miracles that can happen when a seamstress gets creative with an outdated dress.

Before: 1970s with a whole lotta lace

After: Modern lines on a summery or destination dress

Before: a 1990s gown with a bit of a dated look
