Yes, I have heard of this many years ago in a quilt magazine. Wish I knew where it is. It was back when most of the magazine were were printed in b&w. It shows where the wedding dress was opened up in the back and laid out on a background fabric. It showed the whole dress that way. I have always wanted to do that with mine which is a 1958 model. Someday I still may do it.
