I made a christening gown out of my second daughters wedding gown and so far have 2 granddaughters baptized in it, not sisters but cousins, and a grandson that will probably be baptized in it also. Another daughters dress has been cut up to use as centers in a courthouse steps pattern quilt and as a pieced back for same quilt. Other squares in the quilt are from signatures of wedding guests instead of a guest book. My youngest daughter didn't take care of her dress and can't decide if she wants to pay for cleaning (not sure if it will come clean) in order for me to make something with it.
