A wedding dress restorer brings new life to more than 150 years of history
On a spring day in Oakland, California, under the beams of a Victorian-age mansion, Karen Tierney stood surrounded by centuries of history. Tierney is a professional dressmaker and textile restorer, and had gathered 12 of her clients to model wedding dresses sewed or restored by Tierney’s own hand. Some of the creations dated back to the 1800s, and others were handmade to evoke the age of Lord Byron and Jane Austen – or whatever style and era a bride could dream of.
And I love the fact that these people care so much about these dresses, they are honoring their past. They’re very, very sentimental about them. There is a lot of trust involved.” That may mean taking the entire thing apart and repairing it piece by piece, like Tierney did with one wedding gown dating back to 1894. Some clients request original, custom-designed historical pieces that Tierney calls fantasy gowns. Whatever the project, it’s something that takes a lot of time and care.
