Kate's grandmother's gown: a 1950s Capri silk reconstruction

Kate brought us her grandmother's 1950s Capri silk wedding gown with a dream of wearing it at her own wedding. What followed was a careful reconstruction involving seam releases, waist adjustments, delicate cleaning, and a custom detachable silk overskirt—allowing this treasured family heirloom to be worn by a second generation while preserving its history.
