Then & Now

We diligently source and obtain vintage and pre-loved items of clothing, including wedding dresses, with a view to deconstructing them and making something new from the component parts. By doing this we create fresh new one- off designs using re-claimed vintage fabrics, beads, sequins etc. Our aim is to use as much of the dress that is viable to create exciting new accessories such as veils, capes

, garters etc to name but a few and also to design and make very individual flower girl dresses. So why are we doing this you may ask? By using re-claimed fabrics, we are not only creating something Beautiful and Unique but we are helping the planet along the way. So much goes into landfill these days and textiles make up a large proportion of this. So, our mission is to lessen what textiles go into landfill and in the process make something that gives a new lease of life to these fabrics. But this is not just about bridal. Any bits of dresses we cannot use we will be selling on. So, if you are a Crafter or Textile student this is the page for you as we will be selling some exciting items including beads, fabric scraps, buttons etc that can be used for your projects.
