The first time I heard about Angel Gowns was last year sometime when my mother-in-law shared a story on Facebook. Women around the country use donated wedding dresses to sew beautiful burial gowns for little angels born too soon. Though our own angel baby was far too small for such a gown, I thought of all the other families who's precious babies deserved something so beautiful. I loved the idea but never got around to doing anything with my dress. We've been really working to clean and declutter our house and so when I came to my wedding dress, I knew it was time. Today my wedding dress is headed to Van Dyne, Wisconsin to Linda. Linda sews gown for angel babies in our area, https://www.facebook.com/angelgownsbyLinda/ I look forward to seeing the amazing pieces she is able to create with my dress. It was harder than I expected to see it go; probably because it was something I picked with my mom. We found my dress in North Dakota during one of my visits there. It was a dress I never thought I would've picked, but when I put it on we both knew it was "the one." Last night we took a few pictures so we could always remember how beautiful my dress was. Dave assures me I won't ever need it again anyway:)
