Sometimes the dream wedding dress can’t be found ready made. Today we share one wedding dress refashion were simple wedding gown got a glamour makeover with lace overlay and extra hem. This before-after is worth of seeing! Thank you Stelios Kirstelis for the lovely photos and lot’s of love to Päivi, who brought her dress for us to work magic with. 

The original dress we started with was by Danish wedding dress brand Lilly. The dress was bought new. Passions by Lilly dress was a great choice for a refashioned dress by the bride as the original gown was well constructed, beautiful and simple with good materials. It would have been great gown on it’s own for any bride who loves minimalistic style. 

In this case the bride had envisioned a wedding dress with a lace top with very organic feel. We started by choosing a right lace together with the bride from several different samples. The lace was constructed by cutting it into a smaller pieces and pinning it into a place so the bride could see how the dress would look before sewing. The lace pieces were then sewn into place by hand.
