I have a VERY talented niece!  She took her mother’s wedding dress and TOTALLY transformed it!  I missed going to the wedding, because it was multiple states away, but my other sisters were ohhing and awhing about the dress recently, so I had to go see it for myself (she’s local now).  Fabulous.Gorgeous.Beautiful!!!

The old dress (hmmm not sure what year this was, but I’m guessing early 1980’s):

The NEW dress (December of 2011 I believe):
