Much better than storing a gown for decades. I wore my sister's gown and gave it back to her later. She was saving it for her daughter, but DD wanted a new gown of her own. I don't blame her. My Mom made the gown for my sister and then had to enlarge it for me. (She added a panel down the back.)&nbsp;</p> <p>My other sister has my Mom's gown. She was so skinny when she married and we are all taller and bigger. I'm going to check and see if she still has it. And if her house stays safe in the Nor Cal fires. She should recycle it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repurposing-wedding-gown#post-1852593 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 23:41:43 +0000 Anonymous 1852593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repurposing-wedding-gown#post-1852533 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 18:12:02 +0000 Style Fan 1852533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repurposing-wedding-gown#post-1852378 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 01:37:07 +0000 cindysmith 1852378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repurposing-wedding-gown#post-1852349 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 22:44:32 +0000 Anonymous 1852349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This gown is from a previous marriage, so I didn’t want to keep it. The wedding dress from my present marriage is in my closet. I was so thin that none of my DDs can wear it, but I keep it anyway. My mom made both dresses. The one being donated is a full-length gown that’s covered in lace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repurposing-wedding-gown#post-1852347 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 22:00:02 +0000 Anonymous 1852347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend has used her wedding gown to make christening gowns for her girls and grandchildren.&nbsp; They will be handed down to future generations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repurposing-wedding-gown#post-1852331 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 20:18:23 +0000 Glory 1852331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BC that is wonderful!
