I had my son's baptismal gown made from my mother's wedding dress. Since I didn't wear her dress and I don't have any sisters that would it was of no use just sitting in a box. I took it to my seamstress whom I've used for many years so I trusted her and she used my mother's gorgeous lace veil and parts of her dress to make the gown. Now we have a family heirloom that hopefully all my children can wear. Just an idea I thought I'd share with you.
