Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

My niece wants to make her wedding dress into a quilt and give to her daughter for a wedding present. She also has 3 boys and is thinking of making handkerchief for them to wear on their wedding day.

Some have made pillows and baby blankets and etc from their dresses.

Any suggestions?

Btw, her daughter can not fit into her dress.

She is thinking of putting her wedding picture in the middle.

Pinterest had some interesting designs.

Still looking for the idea suggestion.

I don't know, but I like how they constructed it.

A dedication gown for a baby....

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

She doesn't like the bow. I love the quilting On the second one.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Yes I like that idea also. Of course now it would have to be a grand baby.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

:thumbsup

Yes, the second one is done really well.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

I agree.

We are thinking of embroidering their names and wedding date in her wedding colors of burgundy.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Now that would clearly be a wonderful heirloom. Good luck with it!

Note: I didn't mean to hit the heeheehee Smile on Renda's post. I am so used to hitting it, I didn't realize I had done that until after I hit submit. lol

Considering imprinting wedding picture, pic of bridesmaid, groomsmen, and group pic. Plus she is wanting to use her going away outfit as part of the quilt.

My wife has the same problem-say, isn't that true of all former brides?:slaphappy:toofunny:lol:killinme

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Normally, but after nearly 9 years my wife is nearly the exact same weight that she was on our wedding day. :)

(I, on the other hand, gained about 10 lbs.)

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Her daughter is way taller than she is already and she just turned 13.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

I wish, ever since I got hit by a drunk driver & received a bad & weak back I ganed about 100 lbs!
I weighed 136 on my wedding day if you can beleive it, & I know tip the scales at 230 lbs!

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

"They" say a happy marriage you gain weight. You must be somewhat happy.:happydance

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

He is in a happy marriage cause he gained 10 lbs? I must be deleriously overjoyed cause I gained a hundred!:happydance

FTR, I am!:thumbsup

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Aren't you pretty tall, though, Ron? I mean really tall or is it because your wife is really short? :heeheehee

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Actually, at one point I was up nearly 30! (But since lost 2/3rds of that.)

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

I am 6'0 & my wife is about 5'3.
She hugged our son Ryan & she found out that officially now she is the smallest in the household!:happydance

Good for you!:thumbsup

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Oh, it's because she is short. You look 7'0 next to her. My son is 6'0 and not much taller than me. My mother is 5'3 and my dad was 6'0. :D

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

You must be tall! My daughter Kristin is only 15 & she is between 5'10 & 6'0
Yikes!

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

i kinda like the "trash the dress photo's"


yea that goes the other direction... just say'in

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Those are pretty transfigurations of the wedding dresses.

A ring bearer's pillow would be neat.

Mine has been hanging in the closet for 28 1/2 years. I wonder if I could do something with it?

I don't think anybody would ever fit into it. I was a size 4-5 on my wedding day.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

I suggested same thing. :)

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

Ah....sorry. I must have missed that.

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

lol not here to my niece. You didn't miss anything. :highfive

Re: Wedding Dress Made Into...
 

LOL

If there is any organza on the dress, it can be gathered and sewn in around the pillow edges like lace.
