Don't talk to this girl about disposing of garments! I still have my mom's square dance dresses. She passed five years ago, but I can't bear to get rid of those ruffled, fluffy things. She made them all herself and was really tiny, so passing them on wasn't an option at the time. We could start a lace shop with the trimmings! LOL

What delights me the most Boston, is that you are still married. AND that means something. I'd hang on to the dress a bit longer. I love it. It looks like you chose a unique wedding theme, which made the day truly your own.

I have never seen a wedding dress like that. Must've been a beautiful wedding. I think you should keep it, it's lovely.

Well, I believe I will hang on to it. Jim would not want me to part with it. We will be married 21 years on May 6th, and these days, that is a long time.

Thanks for all the nice comments, by the way. I do not imagine many people dress up 1776 for their ceremony.
