Sadly...or not hehe....there were a few tears while I made this one. The pretty pearl beading came off my wedding dress from way back in 1984. My daughter tried it on and said it was old fashioned (hahaha) and I didn't want anyone else to wear it so it is no more now! But I do have some lovely pictures and memories of a fantastic day.
As I was unpicking it I remembered how long it took me to tack it on before covering the tape with ribbon. But the dress is no more now and I am left with about a mile of these pearls and the lace as well!!!!

Karen, that is so sweet about your wedding dress and I bet you had some lovely memories too. I love your little adorable box too, colours are lovely. You've given me some inspiration now. XX
The box is beautiful Karen. Love the little pearls. How feminine. I need to get myself a big bar of wings now! HAHA!

Karen, so interesting about your wedding dress. I see the ballroom gowns that now serve as wedding dresses and feel sadness and a little disgust. The old-fashioned dresses were really special. You are very brave to pick it apart. The box is so gorgeous.

What a lovely story and a great idea of how to keep those memories.
Awww, what a shame she couldn't have had it remodelled! Nice that you're finding a use for the various bits and pieces from the dress and that you enjoyed some nice memories while you took it apart! Off to BS now!
I love this Karen, I'm glad the pearls had some use.
Shame the chocs have all gone though!
what a gorgeous box Karen - the story about your dress is so touching - and what a sweetie!! lol J is...
