Mother's Wedding Gown

Hey Gals!

Some of you were interested in this from a prior post:

I am using my mom's wedding gown; It was just cleaned and looks brand new!

Tomorrow I go to the dress maker to try it on, get it taken in and explain to her my alterations!

Let me know if anyone is interested in knowing how it looks or how this process goes!

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

Thanks gals!

She kept it preserved all these years (25) and we just got it cleaned and it looks beautiful...

HOWEVER, I am not going today anymore... we are going next Wednesday (there was a miscommunication with my mother and the dressmaker apparently)

But, I will bring the camera and post pics - if I can learn how - and reply to this topic next week!

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

how awesome...

my mothers dress was ruined right after the wedding - before having it preserved, it was hanging in their bedroom closet. The roof leaked, and ruined her dress

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

Yeah; its kind of a sentimental thing...

It will be my something old!

I am able to use her dress but totally alter it to the type of dress that I wanted so its the best of both worlds!

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

I think it's wonderful that you are wearing your mother's wedding dress..
My mom's dress was an original Demetrios and unfortnately it just isn't the style that I envision myself wearing on my wedding day. I am thinking about taking some of the material and wrapping it around my bouquet though..
