Honoring the past. Designing your future.
Are you in love with the history of your grandmother’s wedding dress, but looking for a silhouette that reflects your modern soul? We understand that an heirloom is more than just a garment—it is a vessel for memory. At Maybelle, we specialize in the delicate art of transformation, helping you reimagine a sentimental piece into a one-of-a-kind gown you’ll love wearing today.
The Atelier Standard
When you bring your heirloom to Maybelle, it is placed in the hands of our master artisans. Our expert drapers, pattern makers, and sewists work under meticulous creative direction to ensure your vision is executed with couture-level precision. Whether we are constructing a modern bustier, drafting an architectural bodice, or thoughtfully repositioning heritage lace, every stitch is made with the utmost reverence for the original textile.
Integrity Meets Innovation
We pride ourselves on maintaining the soul of the original dress while elevating it to fit your unique personality. By marrying vintage craftsmanship with premium deadstock silks and modern tailoring, we ensure your gown meets the highest standards of quality and fit.
A Future Heirloom
At Maybelle, we believe in celebrating the stories of the past while creating a new legacy. Let us help you bring your dream wedding dress to life—a gown that makes you feel confident, radiant, and entirely yourself as you begin your own next chapter.
The Journey of a Reimagining
1. The Design Intensive
Your journey begins with a 90-minute in-studio session. Together, we assess the structural integrity of your heirloom, explore your silhouette preferences, and take precision measurements.
The Result: Within 10 business days, you receive a custom Design Deck featuring three original sketches and a tailored project proposal.
2. The Atelier Transformation
Once your vision is selected, our master artisans begin the meticulous work of deconstruction and rebirth. Under my creative direction, your heirloom is married with premium deadstock silks and modern architecture.
The Process: This stage includes 2–4 dedicated fittings where we refine the drape, the internal structure, and the artistic placement of heritage details.
3. The Future Heirloom
After final hand-finishing and a professional steam, your gown is ready for its next chapter. You leave the studio with a one-of-a-kind piece that honors its history while fitting your modern life perfectly.
The Debut: A gown with a soul, ready for your wedding day and generations to come.
