My pictures do not do this dress justice. The seamstress used the original buttons, lace and fabric and created a beautiful copy of the wedding dress that is perfect for a baptism and holds so much sentimental value.
The material is around 90 years old and needs a soft cleaning before being used again. That isn't my issue. The dress was made for Pooker but we have used it for all of our daughters. Each one has looked beautiful in this gown. The boys each wore the baptismal suit that J wore.
This time I had to have twin girls; one dress, two girls. That is my dilemma. Pooker would like us to use the dress but change the girls so each one is baptized in the dress. I tried to explain that each part of the baptism will happen for each girl within minutes. I don't intend to have two naked babies and move one dress back and forth over and over again. I suggested getting something new and that was greeted with protest as well.
OK my dear wise blog friends, what are your thoughts????
