Antique Wedding Gown and Dress Restorations

Annette has extensive experience bringing old clothing back to life. If you have an antique dress or other article of clothing, she can restore the garment for use today. She can also incorporate all or part of it into your wedding gown (or other clothing) for a very unique and special look.

Below are a small sample of Annette's restoration projects. Her work has been featured in many museums throughout New England as well as at the elegant Hildene Mansion.
