Judy Webb

Inspired to sew since she was a little girl, Eloisa enjoys applying her abilities to the beautiful wedding dress redesign industry, and says she particularly loves embellishing our Getting Ready Bridal Robes for the modern bride! 
Pamela Beaty

Britney Devaris Mullen
Britney Devaris Mullen's smiles when she reminisces about her grandmother Joyce teaching her to sew her Halloween costumes as a child. She certainly has refined those sewing skills for many years, recently designing her own wedding dress (and those of her five bridesmaids - whew!)
Britney holds a degree in fashion design and merchandising from Dominican University. Following school she was selected to be a part of the Macy’s Fashion Incubator Program in Chicago. A Graceful Sewer™ since early 2018, she loves the overall deconstruction and design process.
"It’s hard not to fall in love with each project as I deconstruct a story from the past and redesign it to continue its story into the future."
Evelyn Rossol is the super productive and highly energized Design Production Manager at Unbox the Dress. With more than 15 years of sewing experience, she is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Fashion Industry from Kent State University, one of the most highly rated Fashion Schools in the country.
Evelyn's graduate school thesis focuses on sustainability practices within the garment industry, a mission that aligns with the principles of Unbox the Dress, pioneering wedding dress redesign. (After all, no wedding dress deserves to end up in a landfill!)
When she was younger Evelyn always knew she wanted to make a difference. She decided to pursue fashion as a career after being inspired by her sewing teacher of 9 years. "Her sewing studio was a home away from home for me."
Evelyn is responsible for making sure each customer's dress moves through our wedding dress redesign process with the white glove treatment it deserves!
The graceful Anna Honerlaw is a 2018 graduate of Kent State University Fashion School where she successfully completed her bachelor's degree in fashion and merchandising, with training focused on conceptual, technical and production design knowledge and skills. The result? Anna has a great understanding of the design process from concept to production.
Anna is also well versed in design and trend research; technical sketching and rendered illustration; pattern-making and of course garment construction.
Anna first learned to sew from her her grandmother who impressed upon her to value "how the garment looks inside and out" as the true test of its quality. (We would agree with Granny!) so you can imagine the loving care Anna takes with each wedding dress redesign.
Anna joined our team because she has a passion for designing in the bridal industry, as evidenced by the fact she is currently custom-designing her sister's wedding dress!
Christine Each
Christine is a classically trained sewing and design professional who attended dressmaking school from 1979-1981; she brings over a decade over specifically bridal gown alteration experience to Unbox the Dress.
Inspired by her sister who was a designer, Christine has been a Graceful Sewers™ since the launch of the company; she has made many lovely Christening Gowns and modern Getting Ready Bridal Robes for our customers. Christine loves the diversity of wedding dress redesign and appreciates the unique qualities of every dress that comes in. Ask about a favorite ? She can't decide and says she simply "loves to work on all types of projects"! We appreciate her talents including making those extra finishing touches, like monogrammed dates and initials as the company's own custom embroidery specialist.
