Transforming a Gown into a Christening Heirloom Keepsake

Rhiannon wanted to repurpose her wedding gown into a custom heirloom christening gown for her newborn daughter. When Rhiannon brought her wedding dress to the studio, she shared her vision for an ornate and uniquely special design that could be passed down to future generations. We collaborated closely to design a gown that showcased the beautiful lace pattern from her wedding dress and used the stunning train to create an extra length and dramatic effect.

Transforming the Dress

Once our design concept was completed, we realized that the top half of the gown could remain intact to create a stunning top for Rhiannon to wear for the christening. We were able to rework the size, since she was newly postpartum, and the result was a one of a kind piece that she felt confident and beautiful in for such a special occasion
