Inspired by the divorce thread below...
My wedding dress was custom made for me out of 5 yards of aquamarine silk from Britex. The fabric is absolutely gorgeous.
It's a two piece corset style with a detachable train. I will never wear it again, even without the train.
I found an amazing seamstress who can pretty much do whatever I want. Problem is I am not sure what I want done with this. I'd like to turn it into something not-trendy and classic, but given that it's silk I'm not sure it's appropriate for anything except a dress? Maybe a summer blazer?
Is it psycho to turn your wedding dress into something else? I feel like that gorgeous fabric is just wasted.
Or, I suppose I could save it for my nieces' prom and revisit having it remade for one of them at that point? But who knows if the fabric will do well for another 10 years? It's already 10 years old...
Thoughts?
