That is an absolutely gorgeous gown. It would be imposs. for me to put scissors to it.
My daughter wore my gown so I'm hoping my granddaughter will wear it as well but she assures me she has no interest in it. She says it's too old fashion. I'm hoping her practical side will remind her that it's only for about an hr. that she'll be in it. I don't push her hard though since she has a right to wear what she wants.
I admire anybody who would be able to cut one up to make a quilt. I admit it's really a sensible way to preserve it though.
