I also made christening outfit out of mine and kept what was left--lots of the lace. This year I noticed a lot of hearts (for valentines) posted on pinterest. I made a half dozen different ones using my dress (from 42 years ago) and buttons, roses, ribbon, some embroidery, beads from my grandmothers olds jewlery and even an old skeleton key I have been carrying around for 40 odd years. They turned out gorgeous and I will use the rest of it to make more. If your are interested go to pinterest and look thru the vintage valentines boards.
