I thought I would read something different here, like wedding dresses for future moms and brides. Well, it was however an interesting article to read and I think I will ask your advice and ask my mother-in-law if she wants to give me her wedding dress. It’s unusual to say this, but my husband is an only child and I get along well with my mother in law. My mother doesn’t have her wedding gown any more, but I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. Moreover since we are on a low budget and adjusting my mother’s -n-law wedding dress would mean cutting costs. I’ve seen her wedding gown in pictures and I like it so much. I won’t have to change too much about it. Maybe change the lace of the top part with a more modern and finer lace.
