I didn't have a wedding gown. But I made the veils for both of my daughters. I took the left over lace and made baptismal dresses for their first daughters and used the lace for those gowns. I have thought about making one out of a gown, there is a resale shop in town that has a sale on wedding gowns for $20 once a year. I may get motivated this year and buy at least one.
