This is where the magic happens! We take a vintage garment and use its existing beauty (like exquisite lace or fine silk) as the foundation for a completely new design. This process is more than just an alteration; we redrape, restyle, and retailor the piece, often adding complementary deadstock couture fabrics, new linings, and modern zippers. The result is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation that honors the past but is undeniably modern. Due to the intensive redesign, redraping, and reconstruction required, Reimagined pieces are typically priced in the $2,500–$4,500 range.

This service is for those who crave the detailed, romantic aesthetic of a specific vintage era (e.g., 1930s bias cut, 1960s sleek sheath) but require a completely new gown. We design and construct a new garment for you using patterns and details inspired by true vintage styles, ensuring a flawless, modern fit and your preferred fabric choices from scratch. Our Cut-to-Order designs typically fall in the $2,500 – $3,500 range, dependent on the fabric and specific design modifications.

Both are the pinnacle of customization, crafted personally for you:
Bespoke: The entire design starts with your vision—a sketch, an idea, or a feeling. We create a couture gown completely from scratch, designed to fit your body and vision perfectly. It is the ultimate expression of personalized style. A true couture experience, Bespoke gowns begin at $5,000 and up based on the complexity of the initial sketch and materials required.
Heirloom Reimagining: This is the sacred art of transforming a family treasure (like a mother's or grandmother's wedding dress) into a modern gown. We lovingly deconstruct, clean, and redesign the original piece, preserving its emotional value while making it beautifully wearable and you. This service starts at $1,000 and is tailored to the scope of work, the complexity of the original garment's era, and the desired redesign.

Yes! We understand finding the perfect vintage piece is a journey, and we are happy to assist in the final chapter. We offer expert tailoring, careful restoration, and minor modifications for client-owned vintage gowns. We bring the same couture-level care and precision to your garment that we apply to our own collection to ensure a beautiful, perfect fit for your wedding day. Pricing for external alterations is based on the scope of work and will be determined after a detailed consultation and assessment of the gown's condition and complexity.

At Maybelle, we are aware of the impact we have on our surrounding environment. Every dress is upcycled, we transform an already existing dress into a new design. We strive to use only deadstock fabrics, the leftover fabrics of fashion houses who overestimated their needs. We are able to shop these locally. Using expert local craftsmen-drapers, pattern makers, and seamstresses not only allows us to oversee the whole process and ensure they are paid fairly but helps sustain the heritage dressmaking industry.
