Don't feel bad about not getting to wear your Mom's dress even though she saved it. I have been a bridal seamstress for 30+ years and 99 out of 100 girls do not want or wind up wearing their Mom's dress even if it fits.... it is out dated and the bride wants to wear HER dress not someone else. Don't feel bad at all.

I totally agree!!
I have made hankies for the bride to carry from her Mom's dress.
