Some Things Are

Some pieces carry history. A grandmother's lace veil, a vintage coat that once belonged to someone you loved, a wedding dress passed down through generations — these garments hold more than fabric. They hold memory. At Pear Tree, we handle every restoration piece with the reverence it deserves, preserving the original spirit of the garment while restoring it to a condition worthy of its story.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of garments can be restored?
We restore vintage clothing, heirloom garments, antique lace, wedding dresses passed down through generations, beloved coats and jackets, and any piece that carries personal or historical significance. If the garment has meaning to you, it is worth a conversation.
Can you restore a wedding dress that belonged to a family member?
Yes — this is among the most meaningful work we do. Whether a mother's or grandmother's gown needs to be preserved as-is, updated for modern wear, or repurposed into something new, Rejane approaches each piece with the reverence and patience it deserves.
How do you assess whether a garment can be restored?
Every restoration begins with an in-person examination of the garment. Rejane evaluates the fabric condition, the type and extent of damage, the construction techniques used, and what is structurally possible. She will be honest with you about what can be done and what would honor the piece most fully.
Can you repurpose an old garment into something new?
Yes. We offer redesign and repurposing services — for example, transforming a vintage dress into a blouse, or incorporating heirloom fabric into a new piece. If you have a vision, bring the garment and we will discuss what is possible.
