    Default Angel dresses from wedding gowns?

    I have heard somewhere about people who take wedding gowns and turn them into little gowns for stillborn babies. Does anyone have any information about this? A friend of mine heard about it and is wanting to donate her dress but doesn't know who to sent it to. She is hoping it would be used locally, in Indiana. Anyone have any information about this program? Thanks!

    I've just contacted the Orlando office. We aren't having grandchildren, so won't be needing it for baptismal gowns. I think this would be a wonderful way to use my wedding dress.

    We have a Perinatal Bereavement Group here in the Buffalo, NY area. They are very active and very dedicated.

    Very emotional experience working on these projects.

    My local hospital does this. You might try yours.
