I want to do something with it. I'm realistic enough to know that my daughter will probably not wear it, so I don't want to just save it for saving-it's sake. But I also can't really bring myself to sell it. Or destroy it. Sooo...my dress had a small train on it. I am thinking of cutting off the train and doing something with that fabric, but still keeping the rest of the dress relatively in tact. Just in case my daughter is a wanna-be hippie like me.
So I'm debating between two different options. One is making a christening dress out of the fabric. Well, actually, giving my dress to my mom and having her make a christening dress out of the fabric. My mom was a home ec major in college, so any time anything needs any kind of sewing, I hand it over to Mom!
My other idea is to make a wreath. Kind of like this.

I could wrap the fabric around a styrofoam loop, then add some fabric flowers. Flowers in our wedding colors. And a peacock feather? I don't know. Something along those lines.
I think I'm leaning more towards the wreath. It's something we can hang on our wall and always have a piece of our wedding day to look at without it being obvious. It would be like our little secret.
What did you do with your wedding dress?
