A vintage wedding dress holds sentimental value and timeless beauty, but it may require alterations to fit a modern bride’s style and shape. This guide explores how to update a vintage gown while preserving its original charm. From resizing the bodice to adjusting necklines and sleeves, every alteration must respect the delicate fabrics like lace, satin, silk, and tulle.

Yep. I rock. No question… 😉
