Hello! I am curious about the brides who possibly remade an old dress, maybe mothers, grandmothers, friend, aunt etc. etc.

I was given a dress and decided to wing it and redesign it. Omg was that the most stressful, fun, rewarding and back to stressful thing EVER! Fortunately my Future MIL was a seamstress once upon a time and was able to help me through it all.

I'm so close to finishing mine and I'm finally starting to love it, after many many moments of fear and doubt...

Any brides out there have similar stories/pictures of their before and afters and how they felt about it?

    Thank you everyone! It feels awesome to be so close to finishing this dress, and of course getting married! You all are so nice. It was so so scary beginning this process and thinking about the absolute failure that was possible. I'm so pleased with how it turned out and all the positive feedback is really helping!
