Art for the female form…

Custom tops and bodysuits designed from vintage cotton lace, hand stitched to your measurements, and paired with silk skirts from our collection...

Old school baby. Slow fashion doesn’t get slower than this!

Everything is created around YOUR unique figure meaning YOU are a BIG part of the process. Our dresses are unique, of course our experience is too!

Our bridal separates are created to be styled beyond the aisle - because why wouldn’t you want to wear such a beautiful investment more than once?!

So how does this work?

1. It starts with vintage lace

Every top and bodysuit is designed from vintage cotton lace from our collection (I love hunting and gathering) which not only supports ***sustainable designs***, but makes each piece ***truly one-of-a-kind***!
The way things * FEEL * on the body is super important to me. I only design from natural fibers that move with you, breathe with you, and can adventure with you for seasons to come.

2. The Design Flow

I design directly on a dress form wrapping the lace around your unique curves in ways that flatter your figure.
My FLOW includes a lot of room to PLAY! We begin by looking at past work you’re drawn to and chat about design elements that feel important. **However, leaving space for things to unfold organically during this process always results in something better than we could have imagined ourselves!**
I truly design from YOUR ENERGY and let the lace take form to create a piece of art unique to you!
**Your trust in my wild process is an absolute gift.**

3. Design Approval

I share design process photos and videos during the design week so that you can watch the magic unfold and feel part of the process (which I think is pretty dang fun)!
After I reach a place that feels good to receive feedback, I send official design approval photos and prompts right to your inbox!
We chat through edits and wait until we both are feeling 100% about the design before we stitch anything down.

4. I stitch everything by hand

Our process is slow fashion at its finest folks!
I stitch every lace top and bodysuit by hand. A beautiful yet tedious process that only allows us to take on a certain amount of brides a year.
But the hand stitching is part of the ART! The humanness… and 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!

Bridal Separates - custom tops, bodysuits and skirts made to your measurements — 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!

Custom Bridal Separates Made From Vintage Lace

We work remote!

I am currently splitting time between San Miguel de Allende, MX and WI.

Due to the nature of our process, we are able to work with brides ALL OVER the world! Which has been really incredible. We stay connected through phone calls, video chats, email, texts… ya know, technology.

Needless to say, we’re pretty into long distance relationships!

However, in person is of course more fun! You are always welcome to travel to meet up in person state side or in Mexico. Bachelorette party and final dress fitting/hand off in MX?!

Just a thought…
