Anybody turn their wedding gown into a Christening outfit?

I really want to do this, but am hoping for input from those that have done it. What am I really going to do with my gown again?

I made my shawl from my wedding dress into a Christening suit for my son.

Claud did. It was stunning.
Do a search you should find the details on where she got it done.

I actually want to make it myself. It'll give me something to do. My sewing machine needs some recent use.

I think I like this idea! I haven't even had my dress preserved yet since my wedding in October!

Since my skirt was ruined I am seriously thinking of doing it with mine for the baptismal. The train & detailing were so gorgeous!

Our family gown was made from the slip of my Great-grandmother's wedding gown in The late 1800's. It a great tradition to start!
