farewell address to a dress

dear wedding dress,

thank you for being such a perfect dress - simple and elegant in your beautiful silk organza, tulle and satin layers. i was really nervous about taking you apart to make crafts, but it ended up being such a fun experience and now everyone who was there can forever be a part of the sisterhood of the trashed wedding dress, like that movie with the jeans...sort of. so now commending you to my fondest memories, i bid you affectionate farewell!

love,
rosie

ps- here are some photos from our trash the dress crafty party.

  7. what a brilliant and creative idea! do you have any dress...leftovers? what will you do with them? i admire your ability to go through with the decision of "trashing" (or beautifully commemorating?) your wedding dress while sharing and collaborating with friends to create whimsical wearables. lovely! thanks for sharing. i'd love to see more photographs.
