You may be struggling with the question of “What to do with my dress after the wedding?!” CounterCouture, a Minneapolis-based upcycling design company is in place to solve that very issue. These dresses often have sentimental value attached to them, a piece that represents a moment in time. It also comes with a hefty price tag for a one-time use item. CounterCouture offers our clients the opportunity to transform these dresses into modern, sexy, highly wearable pieces for you to love over and again.

How does it work? We consult with you on what you want your redesign experience to be, and our panel of local fashion designers submits options for you to choose from. Then we construct a totally new look for you by the hands of skilled hands, with all embellishments or additional fabrics used being pre or post consumer materials, maintaining that the entire process is as eco-friendly as possible. Check out our packages below for more information on the process and great perks. Let the creative evolution begin!
