I just took my wedding dress and My moms homemade wedding dress from her house as I am getting it cleaned out to sell. I could not cut it up! I even found the pattern that my mom's dress was made from. it would have been 66 years today for an anniversary. I did make a garter from a grandmothers dress for a friend but I took fabric from the back seam and some from the point on the sleeve and sewed it all back together. I just can't bear to cut them up even tho really I have no place to store them. If it means something to you save it someday something special will come along.
