BY SHELBY WAX

This 2002 runway Richard Tyler piece served as Emma Roberts' "something blue" for her rehearsal dinner.
The garment was repaired by KAT in Happy Isles' SoHo salon through delicate hand-stitching.
The detached back zipper lining the rear seam of the dress was restored first, followed by the ripped seams beneath. Extra stitching was added to the corset bodice to fortify the connection to the zipper.
