Here is my nostalgia... I have been looking through my Mom's special things she kept in her trunk, initially to look at her wedding dress again. I know I can't fit in it, it is VEY tiny. Like.... a size 3. Sonya couldn't zip it and she is as thin as I could ever think of being.

But I am trying to figure out how to use it at all in my wedding.... If I can't wear it, can it perhaps be cut down to fit a flower girl? Would that be neat?

The mystery I have been wondering about is the other little dress that was in her trunk. I don't know what it is, and neither does my Dad remember it. It is a pretty little dress, we just don't know what it remembers.


(Mom's wedding dress hanging on the door - mystery dress in front)

Anyone have suggestions on how to clean these if I use them? They are both yellowed, the little one especially. Dry clean? - Special instructions? The wedding dress is satin, the little one is lace over satin or taffeta)

I also have old old table linens, also yellowed with age... some my mother's, some my grandmother's. I am told those can just be laundered with bleach. Suggestions?
