Seller's description

Handmade from authentic vintage lace, this romantic knee-length wedding dress combines timeless craftsmanship with an effortless bohemian style. Soft bell sleeves, delicate vintage lace, and a flattering silhouette create a look that feels elegant, feminine, and comfortable from the ceremony to the last dance.

Whether you’re planning a courthouse wedding, an intimate elopement, a garden celebration, a beach ceremony, or a destination wedding, this dress is designed for brides who want something unique without sacrificing comfort or style.

Every gown is individually designed, cut, sewn, and finished by me in my sewing studio. I personally select each piece of vintage lace, many of which are no longer manufactured, so every dress has its own unique character while remaining true to the original design. Because I work with authentic vintage lace, no two gowns are ever exactly alike.

The knee-length silhouette offers effortless movement while maintaining a romantic, timeless feel. The soft bell sleeves and vintage lace create beautiful texture and graceful movement, making this dress perfect for brides drawn to relaxed elegance rather than heavily structured designs.

Features:
• Handmade from authentic vintage lace
• Romantic bohemian style
• Knee-length silhouette
• Soft bell sleeves
• Lightweight and comfortable
• Made in the USA
• Individually handmade
• One of a kind due to the nature of vintage lace

Many brides choose this style for courthouse weddings, civil ceremonies, intimate elopements, garden weddings, beach weddings, destination weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, receptions, and second weddings because it offers an effortless bridal look that feels both timeless and distinctive.

I offer a variety of customization options, including a higher neckline, a less plunging neckline, sleeve adjustments, and changes to the dress length whenever possible while preserving the original design. If you have another small customization in mind, feel free to ask. I’ll always let you know if it’s possible.

Each dress is handmade to order using limited quantities of carefully sourced vintage lace. If you love this style, I recommend reserving your place in my schedule early, as many of the laces I use cannot be replaced once they’re gone.

Thank you for supporting handmade craftsmanship and small business. It would be an honor to create a one-of-a-kind wedding dress that becomes part of your story.

This dress is stunning!! I needed a wedding dress on short notice and Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She made sure all my specifications were met perfectly and that my dress arrived early. She made sure I was happy with the hem length and style and sent pictures for clarification during the entire process. She responded quickly to all questions I had as well. The dress is very well made, high quality, and everything I wanted! I would highly recommend anything Melissa makes. I am very happy with my purchase and I am very excited to wear it for my wedding day soon!

The moment I saw this listing, I knew this was the dress I wanted for my wedding. I couldn’t wait to receive it, and when I saw it in person it completely exceeded my expectations. It fit perfectly; the detail and craft is outstanding. Melissa reached out with questions and to confirm details to make sure I was happy with everything and sent pictures prior to shipping. I am absolutely thrilled with my dress and the whole experience purchasing with Elmwood Textiles! 💕

I was thrilled with the quality of the dress and to know that she made the dress to my specifications was wonderful! It is beautifully designed and made, and it’s the perfect dress for my daughter to wear to her engagement party! We couldn’t find anything like it at any retail stores or online. I highly recommend! Buy from this seller! She was a pleasure to work with and we received the dress very quickly!
