Moms wedding dress

Megan, on November 9, 2020 at 6:24 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
So I wanted to wear this on my wedding day, turns out my mom was TINY when she got married. Does anyone have any other ideas of what I could do with it besides the typical garter and bouquet wrap? I hate for it to sit in the closet for another 30 years 🤔Moms wedding dress 1

    I've seen lots of brides on here turn some of the fabric from their mom's dress into a veil

    Wouldn’t be a bad idea! Just not sure how it would look since it’s all satin fabric

    A seamstress could re-work it into a more modern, short dress to wear to your wedding shower or rehearsal dinner.

    They’re not able to make it big enough to fit me! I asked 2 different seamstresses and they can’t widen it enough 😢

    I agree with the previous poster about turning it into a veil.

    Could a seamstress work parts of it into a dress you buy? For example, if you bought a simple dress could the beading up top or at the waist be added?

    You could make a flower girls dress out of it! Or a ring bearer pillow. Or a little purse/clutch to use on your wedding day.

    If your mom is alright with you altering it and you have the budget, take it to a shop. Plenty who'd be up for a challenge in resizing and altering.

    I like these ideas! If your dress would look good with a sash belt, you could turn some of that fabric into one!
