Bride Love 

Suzanne was absolutely amazing. She took my sketch and brought it to life including custom beading which was just stunning. The process did take a while, but you can't rush perfection. She was accommodating for fittings appointments, communication was 12 stars ⭐⭐⭐, pricing was amazing and all inclusive. To be honest, the experience itself was worth every penny!!
Suzanne also rushed my engagement hem and hemmed the dresses for my wedding party. They also had nothing but great things to say. AND she even delivered my dress the day of my wedding (I was 2 hours late meeting her and she still greeted me with a smile!!!). I just can't say enough good things. If you're looking for a greatness, Suzanne is AH-MAZING, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Suzanne ❤️ 

​

Suzanne made me the most gorgeous wedding gown I could ever have imagined! The dress got SO many compliments on my wedding day and many people told me it was the most beautiful wedding dress they had ever seen. Sue was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Suzanne was the best tailor I could have ever dreamt of for my wedding dress! She accommodated my long distance needs and came through with a perfectly tailored dress with just one fitting. She went out of her way to get my wedding dress to me and I feel unbelievably lucky to have found her. Not only did she make me feel beautiful but she created a dress for my mom from just an idea that was better than we could have ever imagined! She is fantastic at what she does, we couldn’t recommend her more!

"Suzanne did a great job on my wedding gown.  The alterations were high quality and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her services to other brides."

Morgan D.

"Suzanne did an absolutely wonderful job with my dress! She had it done in a timely manner and did a beautiful job altering it for me! She was so sweet and easy to work with."

Lori V.

"Suzanne was amazing to work with for my wedding dress alterations. I was able to complete them in the comfort of my home with a true professional. She was honest and the value was phenomenal. She was timely and answered even my silliest questions. As a bride close to my wedding day, I was anxious but when it came to my dress, I never felt that way."

Kayla B.

Suzanne was absolutely incredible to work with! I had her alter my ceremony wedding gown, shorten my mother's wedding gown into a mini-dress, and create two purses out of my mother's gown fabric. I had numerous appointments and Suzanne always made me feel welcome and comfortable, and encouraged me to speak up if I wanted something changed. She worked wonders with my gown, which started out a few sizes too large and ended up fitting like a glove. Suzanne always allowed me to bring guests to my appointments and had a comfortable area for them to sit and watch. She was easily accessible via email or text and responded quickly. Her attention to detail truly showed through her work and I would highly recommend for any wedding gown needs!

Wedding Dress Transformation Paths

  • Modern Redesign

  • Keepsake Transformation

  • Partial Deconstruction

  • Heirloom Redesign

Wedding gown transformation

How I Do Redo! Is Different

I Do Redo! approaches each gown with respect for its history and craftsmanship. Instead of offering standardized transformations, every piece is thoughtfully evaluated to determine what can be preserved, reimagined, or transformed. The process is guided by design judgment rather than templates, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces that honor the original gown while creating something meaningful for today.  Unlike mass-production services, I Do Redo! is led by a professional couture designer with over 25 years of sewing and garment construction expertise. Each redesign is individually created, not template-based.

Wedding Dress Transformation Paths

  • Wearable Restyle

  • Modern Redesign

  • Keepsake Transformation

  • Partial Deconstruction

  • Heirloom Redesign

Every I Do Redo! project begins with a gown review. This allows for an evaluation of the dress and a discussion of possible transformation paths based on construction, materials, and condition.

✦ OUR PROCESS — HOW IT WORKS 

​

1) Choose Your Item + Send Photos

Select the I Do Redo! product you’d like to create and send clear photos of your gown. We’ll review fabric, condition, and details to confirm what’s possible.

2) Confirm Details + Quote

We confirm what you’d like to preserve (lace, beading, buttons, trim) and any personalization requests, then provide a transparent quote and estimated timeline.

3) Your Gown is Carefully Transformed

Your gown is thoughtfully repurposed into your selected upcycled item(s) with skilled craftsmanship, clean finishing, and couture-level attention to detail.

4) Final Finish + Quality Check

Each piece is pressed/finished and reviewed for quality, beauty, and wearability before it leaves our studio.

5) Shipping + Return of Remaining Materials

Your finished I Do Redo! piece is packaged with care and shipped back to you. Any remaining fabric or materials are returned, or repurposed into additional keepsakes at your request.

Lead Time: Typically 6–8 weeks from gown receipt (varies by item and project complexity).

“See the transformation — your gown becomes meaningful pieces you can wear and treasure.”

Important Notes Before You Ship Your Gown

Every upcycle is one-of-a-kind — No two gowns are the same. Your final piece will be uniquely created from the materials available in your dress.

Pricing varies by scope — Pricing depends on the item selected, fabric condition, and the amount of detail work involved.

Lead time is important — Lace, beading, and complex materials require extra time and careful handling. We recommend planning ahead whenever possible.
