I really appreciate your advice re: future generations.
My wedding gown story has an oops to it.
I was married 32 yrs ago and after the wedding I asked my mom to have the dress cleaned and packed for storage as we were moving to a small apt in another city.
25 years later while cleaning out my parents house to sell it. I found the dress in a closet just the way I had hung it up. The dress is yellowed and creased from the hanger. Why my mom did not have it cleaned is a question I'll never know the answer. I don' think anyone could wear it in the shape that it is in.
So. . . thinking this quilt idea may be a way to save part of the dress.
