Your dress is beautiful!! I'm sure it must be a great feeling to know you made it yourself, but be extra proud of yourself for creating something so gorgeous! :)

I made my wedding dress in 1980 and I can still fit in it. Tried it on a couple of months ago when my daughter was planning her wedding. She considered wearing it but opted not to!

It's great that you can still fit in it! I don't have a kid yet, but if I have a daughter in the future, I hope she would wear my dress.
