I really like the tulle idea from Tink.
I ended up digitizing a heart with Dad written in it. I used a sparkly white fabric with light blue embroidery thread. I used a cutaway stabilizer.
She didn't want it to stand out to much. I think she's going to put it on her train and be able to hide it in the bustle.
I might tell her about the tulle thing though. It doesn't take much to redo something like that.
Thanks for all of your help!
