Meet the brand: The Modiste is based in Buckinghamshire and is a dedicated team of 11 seamstresses that work closely with 12 bridal shops in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Did you know that only 4% of brides wear a second-hand wedding dress? While consumers are curating environmentally conscious wardrobes, most wedding dresses are still only worn once. So is the wedding dress the last frontier of sustainable fashion? Introducing The Modiste Modify Movement which encourages consumers to turn luxury items, such as wedding dresses, into new garments that can be worn again. Wedding gowns can be reworked into luxury silk slips, robes, beautiful miniature dresses and newborn christening gowns. This sustainable option allows brides to re-love their wedding dresses for years to come. The Modify Movement is being pioneered by Jennifer Katherine Crooks, founder and managing director of The Modiste. Jennifer and her team of expert seamstresses alter or create bespoke wedding gowns, but were often asked by brides what to do with their dress after the big day. Jennifer and her team can reuse lace from wedding dresses without damaging the gowns and can ensure that dresses can be sold or re-worn again.
