    Here is a picture of the dress and jacket made from my DIL's wedding dress for my GD Lily. She will be baptized in a month but I wanted to show it to you. It will go to the other grandma now to have loops for the pearl buttons made. She will be wearing her mother's dress, made by her grandmas. I think her great aunt will be making her some jewelry from the beads we had to take off from the wedding gown so I could cut and sew the little dress.

    Beautiful! I am glad to see things being reused. I try to do that as much as possible.

    Just stunning. Beautiful baby! My SIL did the same with my niece's wedding gown...now that is a wonderful heirloom. Love the baby's name....I'm Lily as well.
