@ 11xx11- Awesome idea. You just made your bridal dress all the more special for keeps :=).
Just recently i used a dress from my mom's vari to wear on my bro's mayon. And believe me my whole family is big on wearing nice clothes n dressing up well but everyone was telling me how i just stole the limelight by selecting something that was old but just extraordinary in terms of its work n color. And i have absolute no doubts that your mom's dress was that old cuz i know the work done during those days was called "sucha" kaam for no wrong reasons. Same with few of my mom's dresses she kept safe with her, they all still look lovely and nobody even at this time can replicate them. I was actually thinking of keep the dress i wore on bhai's mayoun for my own but i just recalled that actually the guy's side of the family gives the bride the mayoun dress too, lol. And also that my bhai's mayoun was very special to me too and i just wanted to wear that dress the moment i saw it.
thank you :D
And your mom's dress is very nice esp the color. Just looking at the pic i got gazillion ideas of how it could have been used :-). Awesome stuff.
oh really ? like what ? do tell m excited :D
