Converted Wedding Dress Pillow

A client asked me to make a decorative pillow and garter out of her wedding dress. She was married in the 1970s and her dress was modestly beaded and simple. Her daughter is getting married and she plans to use the pillow in the ceremony to hold the rings. The pillow features the bodice front. I padded out the bust slightly to give it extra contour. The pillow has a cotton foundation,an invisible zipper, and down filled pillow form. The garter is made from the gowns bottom edge and the lace was taken from the veil. The fabric flower in the picture is my own additional embellishment.
