THE FAIRY GODMOTHER OF VINTAGE GOWNSHello. I'm Amy, and I restore Vintage Wedding Gowns from the 1900s to the 1980s. I put my heart and soul into each restoration, aiming to bring out the unique beauty of each gown. Each gown is lovingly restored as close to its original form as possible and then available in my Etsy shop for its next chapter.
Thank you for joining me on my journey of preserving and celebrating vintage fashion. As I continue my quest to restore notable fashion for each decade. Your interest and support mean the world to me.See Below For information on Restored Gowns, Gowns seen on my Instagram page, Restoration Services, and Donations.

DONATE A GOWNDonate A Gown: By donating a vintage wedding gown, you're not just giving it a new life, but also making it affordable for someone else. If you have a family wedding gown you aren't sure what to do with, give the gift of passing it on.All donated gowns are restored and listed in my Etsy shop for only the cost of restoration. If the dress cannot be fully restored, it will be used to repair other gowns, or in another fashion that will enable them to have the chance to be worn again. If the family approves, a small note of the gown's past will accompany the gown.HOW TO DONATE:
~ Must Read Agreement Below and Digitally Agree by stating "yes" through our current communication.~For gowns not in Preservation Boxes- Pack gowns tightly, in the smallest box they can fit in. This will ensure a safer travel , without the gown shifting during shipping.~Please include a note with your contact info : name and Instagram handle, Etsy name (only if communication came from here first) or email . This insures I can let you know when the gown arrives. Without this info I will not be able to contact you.~An screen shot or photo of the original wedding photo can be send through Instagram, Etsy, or Email. Please include a name, wedding date and any other information that you would like shared.~ A shipping address will be provided once I have approved the dress.Please be aware , the average turning around time for posting an unboxing on my Instagram page is about 3 months. Restorations may take longer.
I give each gown the time and detail that they deserve, so I cannot give a guaranteed timeline.If you have a special date or a want you gown shared by a certain time please let me know. I will do my best to accommodate special requests.If you are interested, please contact me on Instagram or my Etsy Shop, or through my email [email protected]ATTENTION ~ PLEASE NOTE~ I cannot accept gowns that are deteriorating, musty, have mold or mildew.
