repurposing a vintage wedding dress into silk flower pins

Mary contacted us to ask if we could possibily repurpose her mother-in-laws wedding dress from the 1920's which had been languishing in storage for nearly 100 years. It was too fragile to turn into a purse, so I opted to use the lace and silk to to cut out petals for Flower PIns as a wedding shower gift for her niece: a new bride to be.
