What to do with Grandma’s wedding dress? 

It’s a flapper dating back to 1928, and it’s made from silk with beautiful beadwork. She wore it with silk shoes and a cloche hat. Unfortunately silk does not age well, especially when exposed to daylight. So what to do with it? 


Paint it! (And store the dress in an archival box.)
