I am doing something very different for a very good friend or I wouldn't do it lol. His daughter got married, I went to the wedding some weeks ago.

Instead of storing the dress, which is beautiful, she decided she wanted to make a Christmas tree skirt out of the skirt and train part and pillows out of the top.

I have already ripped the skirt and was very carful not to disturb the beading. I will cut it tomorrow and show pics. I ripped the top too and removed as much beaded trim that was seperate and I will do those later. The back of the dress with be one pillow and it will have retain the lace up style like the dress and the front will be another pillow. This way she can enjoy the pillows all year and the skirt at least once a year.

It was a very expensive dress and chances are, if she has a daughter, the style will be passe. She didn't want to wear her mother's wedding dress either lol. I wonder how many brides would do that. Her mother's dress is still in a storage box.

I had no problem agreeing to her wish.
