For those of you NOT preserving your dress.

Re: For those of you NOT preserving your dress.

Im not doing this, but my mother took her wedding gown and sewed a christening gown that we were all christened in.... (my sister just chrisened her 3 month old in the same dress...)

I thought that was cool b/c now its a a family heirloom

That's a great idea! But I'm Jewish. No christening's here.

Perhaps I can cut it up and make it into Yarmulkes

I still don't know what to do with it! It's been hanging in my closet for the past 2 months. I don't know if I can get rid of it (I still feel attached to it). I'm thinking it'll be in my closet for a while longer.

I have no idea! It's hanging on the back of one of our closets in the bedroom!

Maybe you could have it turned into a baby blanket!? That's something I've considered..

IM keeping my dress and it will probably be preserved, but i want to do day after pics so I wont preserve it yet.

My MIL made me purse and garter out of her dress for the wedding so I may do this later on in life

Re: For those of you NOT preserving your dress.

i have it hanging in my closet also, I dont want to spend the money to preserve it because i dont have the space to store it, and im not that attached to it so i may sell it. but i'm having a hard time getting around to it for some reason
