I have been asked to make lap quilts out of a wedding dress. This dress was made in 1973 of white velvet. I removed all of the stitching and the material is not dry rotted in any place. My questions is can this fabric be washed before I make the lap quilts?
It was very hard for me to rip this dress apart as my deceased Grandmother made this dress with all hand beading done by her in the middle of her living floor :roll: :cry: Thanks for all of the information that any one is able to provide.
