How to transform your old wedding dress

We get asked time and time again - 'how to transform your old wedding dress after your wedding day'? What are the options?


What a superb idea for a book! How to transform your wedding dress.



A wedding dress is sentimental, of ceremonial importance, probably cost you a lot of money but more than that, it holds all of those wonderful special memories. The garment you wore to say 'I Do' forever; So the idea of just packing it away in a box, or worse than this, selling it on can seem sad or rather ruthless.

Sustainability is key.


But what can you do with it?


What about being able to wear it again? How incredible. But How?
