A couple of midwest gals, lifelong friends and old souls that love cracking a GF beer and dancing to Lizzo just as much as we love hitting our yoga mats or pausing for a guided meditation.
We have our hands in many creative endeavors, most specifically in the wedding industry! Between our combined training and experience in design, photography, and as makers - linyage has taken root.

linyage offers bridal separates
We create one-of-a-kind tops and bodysuits from vintage lace that are paired with our collection of silk skirts.
Each piece is designed custom for YOU! To your measurements, and your specifications with our aesthetic!
You are a BIG part of the process which means you’re not only getting a dress, you’re getting a unique experience and two new gal pals! (we love new friends)
So how does this work?
1. It starts with vintage lace
Each and every top or bodysuit is made out of vintage lace from our collection (we love hunting and gathering) which not only supports sustainable designs, but makes each piece truly unique!
2. We design directly on the dress form
We mock up your piece directly on a dress form! We look through past work and other inspiration you’re drawn to and have conversations about design elements, your likes/dislikes to create something one-of-a-kind JUST for you!
3. Design approval
We check in along the way with progress photos (which we think is pretty fun) and wait to get 100% design approval before we stitch anything down!
4. We stitch everything BY HAND
As you’d guess, our process is s l o w - but the hand stitching is worth the extra time for the quality and perfected fit!
vintage runs deep…
Vintage Buttons
We finish each pice with vintage buttons from our collection! Thoughtful details are kinda our thing…
Meet elna!
Anything that is not stitched by hand is sewn on this 1950 sewing machine left to me by my grandfather!
We’re collectors
linyage was born from a love of hunting and gathering… we find our lace and buttons on our antique adventures!
Pair with a skirt…
We have a collection of silk skirts that we pair with our tops and bodysuits. Our silk organza is hand dyed in a tea bath and crinkled for our signature texture that we LOVE. The nature of the texture makes these beauties travel friendly which is a bonus for our adventure brides!
Get inspired from past work on our blog!
We work remote!
Due to the nature of our process, we work with brides ALL OVER the country (and beyond)! We stay connected through phone chats, email, texts… ya know, technology.
Needless to say, we’re pretty into long distance relationships.

EVEN BETTER - maybe we’ll head to you! We’re known to get up to adventures, stay tuned to where linyage is heading next. We LOVE meeting friends on the road!
Adventure elopement wedding dresses. Hike-able, packable, comfortable. We rolled linyage into a backpack and hiked a mountain to prove it!
