"We were speechless! The robe and clutch are absolutely beautiful and they’re such special pieces to us. I opened them at my bridal shower and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room."
"To be able to wear a piece of my mom after 33 years of her own marriage meant the world to me," Alex told us. "I opened the box up at my bridal shower and couldn't stop crying."
"These pieces were very special at my wedding," Cadey says. "And everyone loved how they all came from my Mom's dress."
"Sadly, my husband died four years ago. It was even more special that I was able to share my wedding dress with both our daughters and create a new beautiful memory from my marriage to their father."
"I have often wondered why I kept the dress," Donna told us. "My reason was revealed in the look on my daughter's face and the tears that followed when she unwrapped the bridal robe."

The experience was very simple and easy! Be sure to have an open mind and not necessarily have a specific image or style in mind. It was a nice surprise to see what they created.
Amazing, thank you!
Website is easily navigated and all products are explained with great detail. I have purchased gift cards for my daughter who wants to redesign her wedding dress. I wish this was an option years ago when I was the bride trying to decide what to do with my dress!
Excellent! They were professional, the quality of the work is excellent, and the bride couldn’t be more thrilled!
I loved every step of the process with Unbox The Dress. From the consultation call to discuss my vision for the end product I selected, to the email letting me know my product was on the way and finally receiving the product boxed up with care. I am so happy to have these heirloom pocket squares made for my two sons from my wedding dress.
From start to finish, the Unbox team was a delight to work with! They took my mother’s wedding gown and my grandmother’s veil and turned it into a stunning rob that I got ready in for my wedding. They loved seeing it on me. Thank you Unbox!
Such a beautiful piece
So beautiful and gorgeous!
The hankies I ordered turned out better than I could of dreamed!!! They look wonderful and will be perfect for mother of bride, aunt, etc gifts
Amazing customer service; so excited to give my daughters their robes. An absolute amazing heirloom! Thank you Unbox the Dress!
Fabulous, start to finish! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with my daughter. Thank you!
My experience with Unbox the Dress was wonderful from start to finish. Developing the plan to reconstruct my dress, for my daughter, was very easy. My consultant took the time to listen to my ideas and also gave her best suggestions to create a one of a kind gift for my daughter. The finished product was just as I had hoped for and my daughter was completely happy with this special gift.
This is my second experience with Unbox the Dress. Earlier this year, the team lovingly refashioned my mom’s wedding dress from 1956 into gorgeous bouquet wraps for my daughter and her bridesmaids. Now, I’ve entrusted this amazing team to preserve my daughter’s wedding gown for the next generation. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the quality of work and the care they put into their craft.
The process was easy, the results amazing and the surprise for my daughter spectacular. Highly recommend this as a great way to pass along family heirlooms.
The robes turned out beautifully and made the perfect bridal shower gift! I also appreciated the communication throughout the process. Thank you!
The whole experience was seamless and easy. Everyone was wonderful to work with. The baby’s gown and headband were more than I could have imagined. I couldn’t help but think how my grandmother and Great Aunt would have felt. They would have been tickled to see my granddaughter in it! Thank you so much for putting such a personal, meaningful touch to my Son and Daughter in laws wedding.
I had two bridal robes made for our daughters. We had our first daughter’s bridal shower yesterday and there were tears throughout the room, including the bride-to-be. Thank you for your help in making a one-of-a-kind, surprise gift for our daughters. I’m so glad I chose to share a bit of when their father and I began our family with them, as they begin their families with their soon-to-be-spouses! Thank you!
Can’t wait to see what can be done with what is in the box for my daughter’s wedding.
Awesome! Terrific designers created such magic from my dress - well worth the cost! Very professional and yet personal, too.
I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! The craftsmanship is beautiful and my soon to be daughter-in-law absolutely loved it! The customer service when ordering was great also! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to repurpose your wedding dress!
On my daughter’s wedding day she wore the stunning robe Unbox the Dress made from my 1990 wedding gown, which brought back so many cherished memories—thank you!
I loved working with Unbox the Dress to incorporate my mom’s dress into my wedding day—the process was seamless, the end product perfect, and they even custom-made bandanas for our dogs!
"Unbox the Dress transformed my 80’s wedding gown into a stunning robe and floral wrap for my daughters’ wedding mornings, giving them a meaningful way to carry a piece of my day into theirs—thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
