Newly engaged and wondering whether your mum’s old wedding dress might have potential? If so, you may be in for an absolute treat, and I don’t just mean saving £££ thousands!

After nearly 25 years of restyling heirloom wedding dresses, I've noticed they all seem to have a soothing effect on frazzled brides-to-be. Faced with deciding between a million choices and bombarded by social media advice, you might welcome being offered an heirloom from your family.

The perfect antidote to the sometimes-stressful wedding-planning mindset, heirlooms just sit there, quietly waiting. No clamouring for attention. No jostling for the limelight. No expectation of perfection.
