There are so many ways to reuse and reinvent these gowns from simply altering it to your size, creating a new design, turning it into a bridal robe and more.

"Oh my goodness where do I start? Kirstyn was an angel here on earth for my wedding. I actually went in with two dresses and wasn’t sure which one I wanted. She gave her insights and thoughts and I’m so glad she did because the dress I chose was absolutely breathtaking. Kirstyn made me feel beautiful even on days where I felt the exact opposite. She was so easy to talk to and communicate with. She made the entire experience a pleasure. I got so many compliments on my wedding dress and how well it fit me; thank you Kirstyn for everything, I appreciate you so much. I highly recommend any other bride work with Kirstyn you will not regret it!"
