Mom's Wedding Gown turned Daughter's Getting Ready Wedding Robe!

Unbox The Dress turned my Mom's wedding gown into two beautiful wedding day getting ready robes! One for me now, and one for my sister when she gets married. Everything on this robe was made from my Mom's wedding dress, except the sheer sleeves but they put the lace on the end of them. It was so special and I cannot thank the team enough for helping design this special piece that I will forever be grateful for!

Great way to make a custom designed keepsake of wedding dresses!

I ordered a couple angels and handkerchiefs to be made from Unbox the Dress using my mother’s wedding dress after she passed. The design team was very responsive and informed me well about the process to ship the dress, and approximate timeline on how long it would take, and the final return shipping of the products. They were very professional and cleaned the dress. They even asked for my input. The final products were beautiful and very detailed. My family was very touched last Christmas to receive a piece of my Mom to remember her by.

Tears in products

I sent my dress in to be converted into several heirlooms. They were very late in sending the products back and when I received them they did not use any of the main material of my dress. The products were entirely lace and silk while my dress was mostly chiffon. I complained and they were willing to redo the items to include the chiffon however, what I was then given had scratches and tears all over it. Given I spent a LOT of $ on these products and destroyed my dress for them…. I am incredibly upset. They should have sent sketches of the design and included me in the process of making the dress. I cannot believe what they have done. Do not risk sending items to them.
