Senior Thesis: Vintage Vows

This collection, Vintage Vows, is a tribute to the bonds of family and the love that transcends generations. Crafted exclusively from heirloom bridal and special event dresses passed down from both sides of my family, each piece resonates with the memories and love of those who came before me. From engagement dresses to wedding gowns to reception dresses, this collection intertwines memories of the past with the promise of the future. By forgoing newly bought materials in favor of upcycling, I embrace the challenge of and commitment to sustainability, seeking to minimize waste while imbuing each creation with renewed purpose and beauty. Vintage Vows honors the significance of marriage as a delicate balance between drawing on past generations and establishing a new family lineage.
