Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

Hey Gals!

Update!

Just came back from the dressmaker!

I am going to post a picture of my mom wearing the dress for the before....

it TOTALLY preserved and cleaned nicely...

but I think it would be good to show how she wore it.. which is basically what it looks like now, and then the after shot...

The after shot is not ready yet bc they didn't alter it fully while I was there.... but it is 100% like the dress I would want and choose....
They cut the neck and made it an off the shoulder look and they are going to take in the gown... so when they do that, I will post the after pics!!!

Wanted to keep you gals updated!!!

Nina

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!


Awww, I wanted somthing like this, but noone has their gowns I'm going Vintage what a search that's another reason why it's good we're waiting til 2007...

FMIL started to giggle when I told her & she told me that she just (a year or 2 ago) donated her great grandmothers gown


I love that ur using your mom's gown!!

Please keep us updated!!

With pics

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

Here are the 'Before' pics so you have something to compare it to....

I got the dress taken in at the waist, and they are cutting most of the sleeves and the neckline to make it a wide v-neck type - off-the-shoulders...
I will post 'after' pics when I go for the next fitting, when they make the initial alterations!

Re: Mother's Wedding Gown

I'm bumping this for all the brides using their moms dresses. This is such a great idea. I remember being little and all the moms would say they hoped their daughters would one day wear their dresses.
So to all of you that are - congrats!
I can't wait to see the finished projects!
